##ABOUT THE AUTHOR/FAQ:##
My name is Chelsea and this is the first FAQ I have ever written. Feel
free to contact me at [email protected] as long as long as it is no
in any way vindictive or hateful. I created this FAQ for the people who
are either a) unwilling to read every word of the game script during
the game in order to get to the action or b) liked parts of the
storyline but do not want to start a new game just to re-read it. I
personally began to type down the script to inspire some fanfic writing
so feel free to use this FAQ for that purpose as well. I would also
like to mention here that if you are reading this, kudos to you because
most people ignore this...or maybe you are just crazy and like this.

???: [Payan] ...Hmm. ...Hmm.
???: [Alice] What is it, Master?
???: [Therese] Is your back acting up again?
???: [Payan] No, it's not that! I've come up with a new name!
???: [Therese] Oh! Master, does that mean...?
???: [Payan] Yes. I've discovered a new Vitae. The name is...
[choices: Legend, Hope, Longing, Ephemeral, Secret, Happiness]
???: [Payan] This is the new Vitae. This word will later hold a vital
meaning that will aid a particular boy. Remember this word well,
you two.
???: [Alice & Therese] Yeees, Master!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Monk [1]: Did you hear? Someone from the Church was attacked by
monsters controlled by the Witches!
Monk [2]: It's been 1000 years since our God sealed those Witches. I
never thought we'd see the day when Witches would roam the
earth again...
Monk [1]: Perhaps this has something to do with the death of our former
Grand Cardinal.
Monk [2]: Our new Grand Cardinal, Johannes, is only 13 years old. He is
a bit young, even if he was certified by our former Grand
Cardinal.
Monk [1]: You didn't hear this from me, but I doubt he'll be a good
Grand Cardinal.
Monk [2]: The peace that has been protected by Luminous is ending...
???: [Kingston] Hold your tongues...Such talk cannot be tolerated.
Monk [2]: C-C-Cardinal!
Monk [1]: Your Eminence!
KINGSTON: What is the meaning of this!? Spreading malicious gossip
about our Grand Cardinal, the voice of our God...
Monk [1]: P-Please forgive me!
KINGSTON: Silence! You two have committed blasphemy against Johannes...
No, against our God! Guards, seize these two sinners!
???: [Johannes] That's enough, Kingston.
KINGSTON: Ah, Grand Cardinal Johannes!
JOHANNES: What seems to be the problem here?
KINGSTON: These two insulted Your Holiness...
JOHANNES: The monk's anxiety and doubt is a natural reaction to my
inexperience. Do not blame them.
KINGSTON: But...Your Holiness!
JOHANNES: Kingston, release them.
KINGSTON: As you wish, Your Holiness. You two should thank the Grand
Cardinal for his compassion!
Monks: Yes, Sir!
JOHANNES: Please continue your efforts for the Luminous Church. I will
also strive to mold myself into a leader worthy of your
devotion.
Monk [1]: You will be a shining example for all, Grand Cardinal!
Monk [2]: I pledge my life to serve you and Luminous, Your Holiness! B-
Bless Your Holiness!
KINGSTON: Those blundering oafs...
JOHANNES: By the way, Cardinal, has there been any progress with the
Witch countermeasure?
KINGSTON: Of course.
JOHANNES: We cannot have those accursed Witches running around any
longer.
KINGSTON: Your Holiness, please leave it to me.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
KINGSTON: How is the research progressing?
Priest: The Round Table Council is on the move. In addition, the Eurus
Knights in the East are assisting them, so we should be on
pace...
KINGSTON: Please complete the research posthaste. His Holiness is
getting anxious.
Priest: What our God commands, I shall do, Your Eminence.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
HEATH: Your Holiness. Did you summon me?
KINGSTON: Witches have appeared again. They are attacking the citizenry
using monsters.
HEATH: Is that so!?
KINGSTON: The revival of our God is close at hand, but the world is
full of grief. This grief is sown by our enemies, those vile
Witches. Arc Knight, Heath! It is time to call forth the
elite force you trained, the Garden Children. Lead them into
battle with the blessing of the Luminous Church. Condemn
every single Witch on the planet in the name of our God.
HEATH: Yes, Sir!
KINGSTON: Protect the Light. Condemn the Dark.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
???: [Claire?] I can feel that the world is changing...The time for you
to leave the village has finally come. Please go and find the
light of hope.
???: [Lucia?] You can count on me!

ALPH: Schaaaa!
THEO: Taaaa!
ALPH: Yaaaa! (slice)
THEO: Aah!
ALPH: Take this! Haaaa! (slice)
THEO: Whoa! (crash)
LEON: Okay, that's enough, you two. Alph is the winner.
ALPH: Haha...Yes!
THEO: Yeah, I'm no match for you at swordfighting. But, I'm sure I
could beat you in an archery battle!
ALPH: So, you're more confident with your bow, huh? Okay, let's do it!
CECILLE: Hey, you two. You should really let your wounds heal first.
ALPH: Eh, I'm not wounded. This is nothing!
THEO: I'm okay, too!
ALPH: Ready? Go! Wapaa! (slice)
THEO: Schoooo!
CECILLE: Come on, you guys!
LEON: How come those two never get tired of training?
CECILLE: I think it's more that you just get bored easily. You'll never
be able to defeat Witches and monsters without proper
training.
LEON: Man, I'm a genius. Why waste time trying to improve perfection?
CECILLE: Sir Heath isn't going to be happy if he hears you say that
again. (sigh)
LEON: Sir Heath went to the Holy Capital because the Cardinal called
for him. I figure I've got all day to just relax and enjoy your
company...
THEO: Oh! It's Sir Heath!
LEON: Wh-What?
CECILLE: Welcome back, Sir Heath!
HEATH: Thanks. It looks like you've been training hard while I was
gone.
ALPH: Of course!
LEON: N-No doubt about it!
HEATH: Is something wrong, Leon? You're acting awfully strange.
LEON: N-Nothing! Just tired from all the training I've been doing!
CECILLE: Hee hee hee.
ALPH: So, Sir Heath, what did the Cardinal want to speak to you about?
HEATH: About that...Cardinal Kingston summoned me to assign me a very
important mission. I'm to condemn any and all Witches I can
find.
ALPH: So the rumor about the Witches appearing is...!
HEATH: Yes, it's true. The Holy Capital was in an uproar over the news.
THEO: What? Witches have appeared?
LEON: The day has finally come!
HEATH: Yes. It is time to use the skills you have gained to serve our
God. You must be ready to leave at a moment's notice. The
darkness never rests...
Civilian: Sir Heath! I beg you, please help us!
HEATH: You're from Carwee Town...What happened?
Civilian: Monsters have appeared in the plains to the northeast.
HEATH: What!?
Civilian: Some of us who went out to harvest herbs didn't escape in
time...Please! Please help us out!
LEO: That was just about a moment's notice...
ALPH: Finally...A chance to fight monsters!
LEON: Let's show them what we can do!
ALPH: Yeah!
THEO: ...
HEATH: Theo! What's wrong!?
THEO: Huh? ...It's nothing. Let's go!
HEATH: One last lesson for all of you: a knight must not flee when
others are in peril! Let's head to the plains in the northeast
where the monsters appeared! Cecille, I'm leaving you in charge
while we're out.
CECILLE: Yes, Sir. Be careful, all of you. Protect the Light. Condemn
the Dark!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
ALPH: Are the monsters further ahead?
HEATH: Everyone, be on your guard.
THEO: Monsters have really appeared, huh...?
ALPH: Theo? Are you scared?
THEO: I-I'm not scared!
ALPH: Don't worry.
THEO: ...I'm not worried...
ALPH: Actually, I'm a little nervous, too.
THEO: You're nervous, Big Brother? You're lying, right?
ALPH: This is going to be my first time fighting monsters, too. So, of
course, I'm nervous. But, you see, we've been training very hard
for this day. Believe in yourself, Theo, and just do what we've
been practicing. Let's go over what we learned...
THEO: Okay!
ALPH: So...What shall we do?
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> THEO |
X=====================================================================X
THEO: Alph, before we go into the battle, let's confirm our strategies!
{To view the tutorials, navigate to the World Map and press START. They
are located in the System Menu.}
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> LEON |
X=====================================================================X
LEON: Recently, monsters have started appearing all over the world.
Earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters are getting more
frequent. They say that these monsters were created by Witches.
The whole world thinks it might be the return of the Aldheld
Disaster.
ALPH: The incident where Witches devastated the entire planet...
LEON: Well...that's why we, the Garden Children, are here now! We've
been brought together to make sure Witches can never harm the
planet again. All the years of training and preparation was for
the moment they resurface. That time has finally come! So, let's
show them our strength! Let's do it!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> HEATH |
X=====================================================================X
HEATH: What's on your mind, Alph? Did you find anything?
ALPH: Uh, Sir Heath. There's something I wanted to ask you. Where did
the monsters come from?
HEATH: Monsters are summoned by evil magic spells cast by Witches! I
hear there's a Witch who controls fire wreaking havoc in many
areas recently. They say that she is accompanied by two large
black shadows. Those Witches have stolen peace from the people.
They soil the Light of our God...I will show them no mercy!
X=====================================================================X
| DIALOGUE >>> PRE-BATTLE |
X=====================================================================X
THEO: Alph! I hear voices from over there.
ALPH: What?
Civilian: Ahhhhh!
LEON: There they are! Over there! Monsters are going after them!
Monster: Kueeeeee!
THEO: Oh, it's a real monster!
Civilian: H-Help!
HEATH: We're moving in! Everyone, dispatch those monsters! Show them
the results of your training!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
ALPH: Sweet!
LEON: Did you get a good look at the power of Leon, the Young Lion
King?
THEO: We...We won...! We did it!
Civilian: Whoa! They defeated monsters! ...They're amazing!
HEATH: Are you all right?
Civilian: Y-Yes! Thank you very much! Who are you people?
HEATH: We are from the Ever Garden.
Civilian: The Ever Garden...Then...That means you're the Arc Knight!
You're Sir Heath!
THEO: That's right. He's our master. And he's famous!
ALPH: Yeah, you've got the right man. That's Sir Heath.
Civilian: Thank you very much, Sir Heath...and everybody else from the
Ever Garden!
HEATH: Leon, take these people back to their homes.
LEON: Yes, Sir! All right! Let's move it, you guys!
Civilian: Huh? Oh...?
THEO: You're not supposed to be giving them orders, Leon. They're
civilians.
ALPH: Haha. Even Theo's telling you to mind your manners, Leon.
LEON: Sh-Shut up...
Civilian: That'll be okay. We can go back ourselves. Thank you very
much for saving us. I will never forget your kindness.
ALPH: So...Mission complete?
LEON: I must say, we did pretty well for our first battle, no?
THEO: I'm so flattered after being thanked so many times.
HEATH: We should also head home, as well. Back to the Ever Garden...
X=====================================================================X
| 2 GIRL IN WHITE >>> PRE-ACTION 002 |
X=====================================================================X
THEO: We're home!
HEATH: We defeated those monsters today, thanks to God's divine
protection. Don't forget to thank Him. Protect the Light,
condemn the Dark.
ALPH: Protect the Light...
THEO: Condemn the Dark!
???: [Lucia] ...
THEO: Huh? Who's that in front of the dorm?
ALPH: I have no idea...
LEON: Yowza! What a cutie. Hey, baby! Why'd an angel like you leave
your pinhead to come here?
???: [Lucia] ...
LEON: What's your name?
???: [Lucia] ...You smell sweaty.
LEON: Huh?
???: [Lucia] Hurry up and bathe. And don't forget to cleanse the
weapons you used against the monsters.
ALPH: H-Huh? Who do you think YOU are...?
CECILLE: Welcome home, everyone.
THEO: Cecille!
CECILLE: I'm glad everyone's safe.
LEON: Monster hunting is a piece of cake!
THEO: I'm still nervous, though...
CECILLE: Well, let's go inside. You guys must be tired.
???: [Lucia] Hey, what should I be doing? How long do I have to stand
here?
ALPH: Uh, Cecille. Who is this girl?
HEATH: Starting today, she'll be the Ever Garden's maid. She comes as a
recommendation from the Millennial Sisterhood Committee.
LEON: A maid?
ALPH: Why do we need a maid?
HEATH: So we can focus on Witch hunting. You need to be ready at any
time, so...She will be taking care of everything at the Ever
Garden from now on: Cooking, cleaning, laundry, and keeping you
healthy...Her name is...
???: [Lucia] Lucia. Nice to meet you.
THEO: Nice to meet you, too.
LUCIA: What do you need me to do?
HEATH: Hmmm...Let's see...You can start by washing the dishes. Alph!
Show her where the kitchen is.
ALPH: Huh? Why me?
HEATH: It was your turn to wash dishes today, right? So it is your
responsibility to train your replacement.
ALPH: Tch, what a pain...
LEON: Alph, this is one time I will gladly wash dishes for you.
LUCIA: (slap)
LEON: Ow! What the hell was that for?
LUCIA: Pervert!
LEON: Ugh...On second thought, it is your turn, Alph. Rules are rules,
you know.
ALPH: I don't want to deal with a brat like her. You should do it,
Cecille.
CECILLE: It's time to me to go pray now...
ALPH: Oh, come on. Please...
HEATH: Alph! I told you to do it. So follow your orders.
ALPH: Yes, Sir...Ugh...
HEATH: Very well. I will go and report to the Holy Congress' eastern
headquarters. Take care.
CECILLE: Well, it's time for me to pray.
LEON: My heart's been crushed. I need to heal my wounded heart in town.
See ya!
THEO: I need to repair my bow.
ALPH: Hey, come on, you guys! Don't leave me here alone!
LUCIA: Hey, you!
ALPH: What?
LUCIA: I don't do dishes.
ALPH: Wh-What did you say?
LUCIA: It'll dry out my hands. So, I don't like doing it.
ALPH: What kind of a maid are you?
LUCIA: I choose my own job as a maid.
ALPH: Grr...! Fine, then start cleaning. Go sweep the floors in the
dorm.
LUCIA: Oh, okay. I'm fine with sweeping. Bring me a broom.
ALPH: It's right over there. Go get it yourself!
LUCIA: Bring me a broom.
ALPH: Argh...Here!
LUCIA: Oh, not bad. The engraving on the handle is very nice. The grip
is excellent, and it's well balanced...Very easy to use...And
the weaving of the broom head is just superb!
ALPH: ...Why are you grinning at the broom?
LUCIA: Oh, n-nothing.
ALPH: O-kay, whatever...Just sweep up around here.
LUCIA: Hold on...
ALPH: What is it now?
LUCIA: You really need to bathe. You smell really awful right now.
Don't forget to clean all the monster blood off your weapon!
ALPH: Yeah, yeah...(What is up with this girl...?)
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
LUCIA: I'm done sweeping the dorm.
ALPH: Wow, that was quick.
LUCIA: Well, I'm good with brooms.
ALPH: I see.
LUCIA: What should I do next?
ALPH: Hmmm...I guess I'll give you a tour of our quarters. Come with
me.
LUCIA: Okay.
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> THEO |
X=====================================================================X
THEO: Hey Lucia. It's me, Theo. Do you know who I am yet?
LUCIA: ...Sorry. Not yet.
ALPH: Theo's my younger brother.
LUCIA: Ah.
THEO: Where were you before you came here?
LUCIA: Many places.
THEO: So do you know the area near here, then?
LUCIA: Not really.
THEO: This place is called the Ever Garden, and this is the dorm that
we sleep in! The surrounding areas are the region of Albein and
part of the Eastern Continent, East Glabber! If you go south,
you'll be in the Eurus Plain region. There's a Eurus Knight base
there, as well as a port city you can use to reach the Western
Continent!
ALPH: Theo, you got that all from your last geography lesson, huh?
THEO: Haha...You can tell? Oh yeah, Carwee Town is also nearby. I go
there to buy food all the time.
LUCIA: Oh, okay. You taught me a lot.
THEO: If you go grocery shopping, buy lots of eggs for me!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> CECILLE |
X=====================================================================X
CECILLE: Hm, what's wrong, Alph?
ALPH: Nothing, I'm just showing her around. I figured she didn't know
the area.
LUCIA: Hello.
CECILLE: Hi, Lucia.
LUCIA: Have you been living here for long?
CECILLE: Over ten years now. But, both Alph and Theo have been here
longer.
ALPH: Yeah, but I was very little when I got here, so I don't remember
much.
CECILLE: You guys have been here since the Ever Garden was first
established, right?
LUCIA: First established, huh? How long ago was that?
CECILLE: The Ever Garden was established the year Grand Cardinal
Johannes was born. It was established by the Cardinal who
foresaw the reappearance of the Witches.
ALPH: That's right. We're training to fight the Witches and monsters!
LUCIA: Witches and monsters, eh? So what were you two doing before you
came to the Ever Garden?
ALPH: I've been raised by the Church for as long as I can remember.
LUCIA: Hm...I see...
ALPH: I don't remember too much about when I was young, but every
here's great!
X=====================================================================X
| DIALOGUE >>> PRE-BATTLE |
X=====================================================================X
ALPH: *yawwwwn*
LUCIA: You look like a fool with your mouth wide open. Don't do that in
public! Aren't you supposed to be a knight!?
ALPH: Shut up. Here's your room. Why do you wanna stay out here?
There's a room at the dorm, you know.
LUCIA: I don't want to sleep in the same building as you and Leon.
ALPH: Uh, okay, I guess.
LUCIA: I don't want you wandering around here. Stay in your dorm.
ALPH: I wouldn't come here even if you asked me to!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
{Alph and Theo's Room}
THEO: Hey...Hey, Big Brother.
ALPH: What? You can't sleep?
THEO: Yeah, I'm still worked up...Today's battle was crazy. We really
whupped those monsters good!
ALPH: Yeah, you did great out there, bro!
THEO: Do you think we're gonna have to fight more of 'em?
ALPH: Well, Witches have reappeared...So, there will probably be more
monsters.
THEO: Hmm...I'm a little worried, brother...
ALPH: Don't worry. I'll be fighting, too. Get some sleep now, Theo. You
need to rest so your body heals up, ok?
THEO: *yawn* Okay, good night, Alph.
ALPH: Good night...*yawn* I guess I'll go to sleep too...
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
ALPH: ...Zzz...Zzz...
???: [Lucia] (...1 broom, 2 brooms, 3 brooms...)
ALPH: (...?)
???: [Lucia] (Ooh, a golden broom! Wonderful...Mmmm...)
ALPH: (Who is this...?)
???: [Lucia] (Huh...What is this feeling...? Oh no...! Someone's inside
my dream...!)
ALPH: (...??)
???: [Lucia] (Is this...Alph...!? I can't believe HE'S a Rym!)
ALPH: (Is this...the voice of that weird maid?)
???: [Lucia] (Uh...I can hear you! And where do you get off calling ME
weird!?)
ALPH: (Witches created those monsters to destroy our peace, right? Our
mission is to fight these Witches and monsters!)
???: [Lucia] (Wow, you're even dumber than I thought!)
ALPH: (What?)
???: [Lucia] (I see there's no point in talking to you anymore. Just
get out of my dream!)
ALPH: (You...!)
???: [Lucia] (...)
ALPH: Hey!! (screen brightens -> Alph wakes up) ...That voice I heard
in my dream...Was that Lucia...?
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
ALPH: Hey! Get up!
LUCIA: *yawn*
ALPH: What did you do to me!?
LUCIA: ...What are you doing here in the middle of the night?
ALPH: you were the strange voice that was in my dream, weren't you!?
LUCIA: ...
ALPH: Hey!
LUCIA: What? Are you still half-asleep or something?
ALPH: No! I WAS asleep until I heard your voice in my dream!
LUCIA: Well, EXCUSE ME! You're the one who just came barging into MY
dream!
ALPH: What!?
Monster: Grrrrrrr...
LUCIA: Look out!
ALPH: Whoa!
LUCIA: What are you doing!? Do you wanna die here?
ALPH: Wh-What is this creature!? This isn't a normal forest animal, is
it?
LUCIA: Of course not! It's a monster! Let me guess. You didn't cleanse
your weapon like I told you to, did you?
ALPH: Huh?
LUCIA: The scent of monster blood attracts other monsters! I can't
believe you don't know that! Some knight you are.
Monster: Grrrrrr...
ALPH: We're surrounded! Stay back, Lucia! I'll handle this! Take this!
Monster: Grrrrraaa...
ALPH: Whoa! Ahhhh!
LUCIA: Ugh, I can't watch this! (flash -> transforms to Witch) Move!
You're in my way! Yaaaa! ...Shine! (flash)
ALPH: What the...!?
Monster: (smack) Gyaaaa! (dies)
ALPH: That...Is that...?
LUCIA: What are you doing? Don't just stand there! You need to focus
and work with me if you want to live!
ALPH: Shut up! Don't tell me what to do!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
LUCIA: Phew. Finally!
ALPH: You...Did you just use a spell?
LUCIA: Yes, I did.
ALPH: You know an awful lot about monsters and...You...You're a...
You're a Witch, aren't you!?
LUCIA: Wow. You figured it out.
ALPH: Huh?
LUCIAL Why the surprise? I know about monsters. I can use magic...Yes,
I'm a Witch.
ALPH: Um...(Witches...they're the ones who create monsters and destroy
peace. The teachings of the Luminous Verses say I must condemn
Witches...) Are you really...a Witch?
LUCIA: I just answered that. You're really annoying.
ALPH: Well then, I have to condemn you!
LUCIA: Condemn? You're gonna kill me? Because I'm a Witch? Are you
dumb?
ALPH: I will condemn Witches and bring peace back to the world. That's
what the Garden Children were assembled for! Prepare yourself,
you Witch!
LUCIA: You think you can kill me? You couldn't even defeat those weak
monsters by yourself! What in the world makes you think that you
can beat me!?
ALPH: Ugh...
LUCIA: Besides, aren't you forgetting something important?
ALPH: Something important?
LUCIA: I just saved your life, you ingrate. If I wasn't there, you
would've been a monster's dinner by now. So that means I'm your
savior. Right?
ALPH: W-Well...I guess that's true...
LUCIA: So don't tell the others about this! I still have many things
here that I need to take care of. This is an order from your
savior!
ALPH: ...
LUCIA: Do you understand?
ALPH: ...A knight never forgets a favor. I'll keep quiet about your
identity...But, just for this one time! If you ever use your
spell again, I'll definitely condemn you next time!
LUCIA: Hmph...
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
LEON: Alph! Where are you?
ALPH: Leon! I'm right here! What's up?
LEON: Hey...what are you doing here? Just you and Lucia alone, huh?
ALPH: I-I was just taking a walk and I happened to run into her!
LEON: Oh really? Or...Are you guys...No, no, a man doesn't kiss and
tell. That's not important now, anyway. We have an order to move
out!
ALPH: What?
LEON: They found the hideout of one of the Witches!
ALPH: What?
LUCIA: A Witch?
LEON: We're heading out now. Prepare yourselves.
ALPH: Okay!

| 3 CONDEMN THE DARK >>> PRE-ACTION 003 |
X=====================================================================X
HEATH: Our objective is to break into the mansion at the edge of the
Palu Forest. According to our reconnaissance, there's a Witch
hiding in it.
LEON: All right! We're finally fighting a Witch! My heart's beating
like a drum!
CECILLE: your chest feels like it's going to burst?
LEON: Looks like yours is bursting, too...
CECILLE: Hey! Eyes up top, mister!
LEON: Ow! Hey, looking's not a crime! I start because I care!
HEATH: Silence, you two! Apparently, this Witch uses the Water
Lapistier to augment her power.
THEO: Water Lapistier?
CECILLE: The Witch has the Lapistier!?
HEATH: It's a stone that feeds off the Light of God and pollutes the
world. It's said that Witches who possess a Lapistier can
unleash tremendous powers. We need to do whatever it takes to
get that Lapistier back in our hands.
ALPH: We're gonna get them back?
HEATH: Yes. We need to take them to Grand Cardinal Johannes, so he can
expunge their evil powers. Even though we have divine protection
from God, we cannot be careless. Do not let your guard down!
We're going to condemn that Witch in the name of God!
ALPH: Yes, Sir!
HEATH: Cecille, I would like you to join the battle this time. You can
never tell what foul tricks a Witch can perform. I would like to
have your healing powers with us as a precaution.
CECILLE: You can count on me!
LEON: Don't try to be a hero, now. Because you're too slow to save the
day.
CECILLE: Tch! I'll make sure I'm extra slow when it comes to healing
you!
ALPH: I sure wish Saki was here...
LEON: Yeah, I agree.
LUCIA: Who's Saki?
ALPH: Lucia! What are you doing here?
LUCIA: I followed you because I was getting anxious. And I wanted to
see the Witch.
ALPH: Tch, to see if you're related?
LUCIA: Did you say something?
ALPH: Never mind.
LUCIA: So, who's Saki?
THEO: She's another one of us Garden Children. She's a good friend of
Cecille's.
CECILLE: Saki's very agile and quick.
LEON: Haha, the Tortoise and the Hare! What a great combo!
CECILLE: Hey! Stop calling me slow!
HEATH: Silence! Lucia, be sure to stay out of the fight. I understand
that you are curious. But, it will be dangerous, so stay back.
LUCIA: Yes, Sir.
HEATH: Okay, everyone, prepare to break in!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> LUCIA |
X=====================================================================X
LUCIA: Hey, Alph...Is there really a Witch inside that mansion?
ALPH: Of course! That's why we're here to condemn it.
LUCIA: There is no Witch in there.
ALPH: Huh...? What do you mean? You mean, you can tell because you're a
Witch, too?
LUCIA: That's right, I'm a Witch. Are you going to comdemn [spelled
wrong in the game, supposed to be 'condemn'] me, too? After all,
we're supposedly destroying your peace, right?
ALPH: Exactly! Witches are the evil shadow that disrupts our peace. If
you don't wanna be condemned, you'd better stay put!
LUCIA: ...
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> HEATH |
X=====================================================================X
ALPH: What are the Witches' intentions?
HEATH: A Witch is a being that hates the Light of God. They're trying
to pull this light-filled world into the darkness.
CECILLE: That's right. Starting with that earthquake near the Holy
Capital, there are disasters happening all over the world.
Monsters are attacking people, and people now live in fear. As
the Luminous foretold: when Witches reappear, so will the
world's danger.
ALPH: The world's danger...
HEATH: The Witch that we're going to condemn is trying to use the
Forbidden Light.
ALPH: Forbidden Light?
HEATH: The Lapistier. It leeches off the Light of God in order to
develop its destructive power. The power it contains can
probably easily level a town or two.
ALPH: Whoa...Is it that dangerous!?
CECILLE: That's why we're going to have the Grand Cardinal cleanse it.
In order to do that, we have to take the Lapistier back from
the Witches!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> THEO |
X=====================================================================X
THEO: Alph, what kinds of stones do you think Lapistier are?
ALPH: Hmmm...
LEON: I heard it glows...as it feeds on the Light of God. A glowing
rock that creates an evil shadow to swallow our peace...
THEO: What!? The Witches have something as scary as that?
ALPH: That's why we have to do something about it! We can do it!
THEO: You're right, Alph! So, the Lapistier glow, huh? But, I think
stones look prettier when they don't glow...Like the stone Alph
and I share!
LEON: You mean those stones you two had when the Church found you?
ALPH: It's one stone cracked in half. The halves match up perfectly.
THEO: It's a sign of our brotherhood!
ALPH: Yeah!
X=====================================================================X
| DIALOGUE >>> PRE-BATTLE |
X=====================================================================X
HEATH: Alph.
ALPH: Yes, what is it, Sir Heath?
HEATH: From now on the enemies you face will be more and more powerful.
You need to talk to your comrades after battles to keep them in
good spirits. They need to feel their best, mentally and
physically, to fight at their best. Do you understand, Alph?
ALPH: I understand, Sir!
{"Intermission" is now available after battles.}
HEATH: Garden Childre, assemble! It is time to begin our mission!
Protect the Light, condemn the Dark!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Mansion Owner: The Water Lapistier that sank to the bottom of the
lake...The Round Table Council is so desperate to get
their hands on it. If I bring this to them, my social
status would skyrocket. It's such a simple scheme,
really. Hahaha...
ALPH: We found you! Evil Witch!
Mansion Owner: Who the hell are you!?
HEATH: We are the sword of Light that banishes the Dark...
ALPH: We are the Garden Children!
Mansion Owner: Garden Children!? Agents from the Church, eh?
ALPH: Hand over the Water Lapistier, you vile Witch!
Mansion Owner: Witch? You think I'M a Witch? Hahaha...
ALPH: What's so funny!?
Mansion Owner: Must the Church control everything despite having the
Light's strength? So the Church won't let me be, eh?
They're greedy enough to send you...So be it. Call me a
Witch or whatever you want! But if it has come to this,
I don't intend to hold back! Let's see the power of the
Water Lapistier!
HEATH: If you intend to fight us, you leave us no choice! Let the
battle begin!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
LEON: How do you like that, Witch!?
Mansion Owner; I guess I got too greedy...Ugh...I was a fool...
ALPH: This is the Water Lapistier...
CECILLE: It's beautiful...What a gentle light...
THEO: Secure the Lapistier.
ALPH: Yes, Sir!
THEO: We did it, Alph!
ALPH: Yeah, good work, Theo.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
LEON: Eh, Witches aren't so tough.
LUCIA: ...
CECILLE: What's wrong, Lucia? Are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?
LUCIA: ...No, I'm fine.
LEON: You don't look like you're okay. Are you sure?
LUCIA: I told you, I'm fine.
ALPH: Lucia?
LUCIA: Don't talk to me.
LEON: Ooh, I guess she hates you now, too.
HEATH: You all did really well. I was impressed. I'm sure Cardinal
Kingston will be glad to hear of this outcome. On that note, His
Holiness will be visiting Carwee in the south tomorrow. I have
been ordered to accompany him to assist their inspection.
THEO: So, are we staying here?
HEATH: No, I'm going to have you come this time. I think now is a good
time to show him how well my apprentices are developing. You're
on your way to becoming an elite squad.
CECILLE: So, we're going to meet the Cardinal?
HEATH: That's right. Okay, let's go to Carwee.
ALPH: ...
THEO: What's wrong, Alph?
ALPH: It's nothing...
HEATH: Alph? Did you want to say something?
ALPH: Um, Sir Heath. That woman we just fought...Was she really a
Witch?
HEATH: What? Do you think the information the Church gave us was
inaccurate?
ALPH: Oh, no. That's not what I meant. I just thought that we may have
needed to investigate further.
LUCIA: ...
HEATH: Listen, Alph. You were just bewildered by that Witch. They use
any means necessary in order to take advantage of people. Be
strong, Alph. You must not allow that Witch to corrode your
faith.
ALPH: ...I understand, Sir.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
ALPH: ...
LUCIA: That was dumb. Of course he's gonna lecture you if you ask
something like that.
ALPH: Hey, was that woman...
LUCIA: ...She wasn't a Witch.
ALPH: So we just fought an innocent person...?
LUCIA: No. She wasn't a Witch, but she wasn't innocent either. She was
a villain who was trying to use the Lapistier for her own
interests. She got what she deserved, so you don't need to feel
bad about it.
ALPH: Is...Is that so?
LUCIA: By the way, just to let you know, a real Witch is WAY more
powerful than her. If you intend to fight Witches, you need to
train more...A LOT more. At this rate, you and your friends
don't stand a chance.
ALPH: ...

Civilian (2): I heard they even defeated a real Witch! They found her
in that old mansion...
Civilian (1): You can count on the Garden Children! They're so
reliable!
Civilian (2): As long as they're around, I'm not afraid of those nasty
Witches!
LEON: Ha ha! We're heroes here. I could get used to this treatment.
THEO: I'm a little embarrassed. Right, Alph?
ALPH: Huh? Yeah, you're right.
CECILLE: We wish for peace and the Light...A small Light that belongs
to the hearts of the people...Let's all do our best to protect
their Light.
LEON: Personally, I'M wishing for the smiles of all the lovely ladies.
Heh heh.
CECILLE: ...
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
THEO: Wow! So this is the Luminous Church? It's huge!
HEATH: Let's all go and great Cardinal Kingston together.
LUCIA: Does that include me?
HEATH: Of course. You're a member of the Ever Garden now, too, Lucia.
So you should meet the Cardinal with us.
LEON: Nice! We finally get to meet him in person!
CECILLE: Saki couldn't make it here in time...
THEO: That's too bad...
ALPH: Hey, Lucia...
LUCIA: What?
ALPH: (Hey...Are you sure you should meet Sir Kingston? What if he
finds out that you're a Witch?)
LUCIA: (It's not like he's going to know just by looking at me.)
ALPH: (He's the Cardinal of the Luminous Church! If he finds out...)
HEATH: Alph, Lucia. What are you two whispering about?
ALPH: Oh, it's nothing!
HEATH: Okay, let's go inside...
ALPH: Yes, Sir!
???: [Andre] STOP right there!! What do you puny ruffians want from
this holy Church!?
THEO: Alph, there's a strange man coming out.
HEATH: Oh, it's sir Andre. How do you do, Andre?
ANDRE: Grr, it's an Arc Knight! You're not bringing these suspicious
looking runts to Sir Kingston, are you? I can't let them pass
just because you ask me to let them pass. I can't allow that.
Not even if you are an Arc Knight!
CECILLE: What an annoying man...
THEO: Sir heath, who's this?
HEATH: Sir Andre from the Zephyroth Knights.
ALPH: A knight!? Looking like that!?
HEATH: hold your tongue, Alph. Sir Andre is His Holiness' right-hand
man and leader of the Zephyroth Knights. They call him the
"Master of the Western Wind."
ANDRE: Heath, have you not taught them proper etiquette?
HEATH: I apologize, Sir Andre. I will talk to them personally.
ANDRE: in any case, I can't let this suspicious-looking lot into the
Church! You'll never get past...these MANLY BICEPS!
HEATH: Sir Andre, is there some kind of misunderstanding?
ANDRE: What?
HEATH: We servants of God are here to greet Sir Kingston, in accordance
to the teachings of the Luminous Verses. It seems as if you are
attempting to hinder a holy greeting. Is this really the type of
thing a knight serving Luminous would do?
ANDRE: Grrrrrr...
LUCIA: Looks like he doesn't have a response to that.
THEO: Nice one, Sir Heath!
LEON: So, excuse us as we go through.
???: [Kingston] What is going on here? What is all this commotion?
HEATH: Sir Kingston...
ANDRE: Sir Kingston!
KINGSTON: Oh? Sir Heath.
HEATH: Arc Knight Heath, reporting for duty. I have just arrived at the
request of Your Eminence.
KINGSTON: I appreciate your service. But, who are these children with
you?
HEATH: They're from the Ever Garden.
KINGSTON; I see. So you are the Garden Children. I have heard many good
things about you.
HEATH: Thank you for your kind words.
KINGSTON: However, Heath.
HEATH: Yes, Your Eminence?
KINGSTON: If they are the Garden Children, why are they not
exterminating Witches? Is that not their mission?
HEATH: Th-That's...
KINGSTON: What if the Witches were to obtain the Lapistier while they
are here? We cannot afford to have them galavant [spelled
wrong in the game, supposed to be 'gallivant'] about,
shirking their duties. By tarrying, you give the powers to
the Witches, the root of all evil!
ANDRE: EXACTLY! What Sir Kingston said!
KINGSTON: Those despicable, ferocious, brutal, vile creatures!
LUCIA: HEY! I don't care if you a Cardinal or whatever! I've heard
enough of your filthy lies!
ALPH: L-Lucia!
KINGSTON: Who...Who are you?
ANDRE: That was very rude to Sir Kingston!
LUCIA: You shut up, Rustbucket!
ANDRE: Wh-Wh-What did you call me!?
LUCIA: What do you mean, "root of all evil"!? Exactly what kind of evil
deeds have Witches done to you? I mean, how much do YOU even
know about Witches? Answer me!
KINGSTON: Who? M-Me?
LUCIA: Yeah, you! Mr. "Witches this" and "Witches that"! You old fool!
KINGSTON: O-Old fool...
LUCIA: Have you even seen a real Witch before!?
KINGSTON: A...A real Witch?
LUCIA: See...you admit you haven't even seen one before, so shut up
about it!
ANDRE: Be quiet, you!
HEATH: Stop it, Lucia!
LUCIA: I don't care! The whole damn Church should get blown up! (storms
off)
ANDRE: Hey! Don't you go anywhere, girlie! Nobody calls me a
Rustbucket!
KINGSTON: Ohh...I feel a bit faint...Andre, lend me your shoulder...
ANDRE: Right away, Sir!

ANDRE: Yes, Sir! Heath! I'm holding YOU responsible for all of this!

CECILLE: What happened to Lucia?
THEO: I was so scared...
HEATH: I'm going to check on Cardinal Kingston. I still have to give
him the Water Lapistier anyway.
CECILLE: Sir Heath, will you be alright?
HEATH: Hmm. An apology letter probably won't be sufficient for this...
CECILLE: Oh, no...

CECILLE: I've never spoken to him directly, but I'm sure he's great
leader.
THEO: That Andre guy that was with him, why was he dressed all weird?
ALPH: Weird? He's the Zephyroth Knights' Commander. You should respect
him.
LEON: Eh, he didn't look so strong. I wasn't very impressed with his
"manly" biceps.
CECILLE: Hey, Leon, that's not very nice!
ALPH: Since he is a Knight Commander, I want to see him in a battle
once.
THEO: I think Sir Heath looks stronger than that guy.

is kind of annoying. But still...
ALPH: In any case, where did Lucia go?

LEON: Hey...I don't really understand this particular situation...But,
I do know that it's always better to leave an angry girl alone.
Trust me.
ALPH: Is that so?
CECILLE: I wonder why she was so mad. It almost seemed like she was on
the Witches' side.
ALPH: That's...
THEO: Ooh! Ooh! I know! She probably didn't like the smell of that
Andre guy!
ALPH: ...
CECILLE: Do you really think so?
LEON: I guess that's a possibility. Remember the first time we met her?
Anyhow, I think it would be best if we just let Lucia cool off
for a bit.

Flame". I'm honored to meet you.
ALPH: "Cleansing Flame"? I didn't know Sir Heath had that nickname.
HEATH: You there, Witch of Immolation ,was it? What is your purpose
here?
Witch of Immolation: I'm here to take the Water Lapistier. There's no
use for you humans to be holding on to it.

punished for that rude gir...Huh? Who's that girl with the bold

you infiltrate the Ever Garden to secretly investigate us!?
LUCIA: I wouldn't waste my time doing that.
HEATH: What?

how "elite" you THINK you are, but you guys are way too weak. Do

shouldn't make you so upset if you think of it that way.

Congress! The Eurus Knights were attacked by a Witch! They
were decimated by a gigantic flash!

CECILLE: I'm going to lend my assistance.
ALPH: I never knew that the Witches were capable of this kind of
damage.
HEATH: ...
ALPH: Sir Heath, what do you think?
HEATH: This looks like it was done by that Witch of Immolation. The
Eurus Knights were doing experiments at the Wahl Plains to the
southwest.
ALPH: Experiments?
HEATH: An experiment to determine how powerful the Wind Lapistier is,
specifically.
ALPH: Why would they do that? Aren't Lapistier very dangerous?
HEATH: Right now, the Church is researching a countermeasure against
Witches. The Lapistier experiments were tied to the
countermeasure research.
LEON: So they were trying to use the power of the Lapistier against the
Witches...
HEATH: However, it looks like the Witch of Immolation appeared during
the experiment, destroyed the Eurus Knights with an enormous
flash, then stole the Wind Lapistier.
ALPH: Damn those Witches! How could they do this!?
HEATH: The Lapistier are deadly. We must gather them quickly, so they
can be purified.
THEO: Hey, Alph. Let's help out here like Cecille is. We can't heal
people, but there must be something we can help with.
ALPH: Yeah, you're right, Theo. Is that okay, Sir Heath?
HEATH: Sure. I'll go with you two.
Injured Soldier: There's no way we can stand such power...It's so
bright! It burns! My eyes! My EYES!
CECILLE: It's okay. Please calm down. The Witches aren't here anymore.
Injured Soldier: Run! Get away from that light! You...monster! Waaah!
THEO: This is awful!
HEATH: The Eurus Knights, known for courage, reduced to frightened
invalids...
ALPH: That Witch of Immolation! I'll never forgive her for this.
ANDRE: Clear the way! Cardinal Kingston is arriving!
ALPH: What, Cardinal Kingston!?
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
HEATH: Cardinal Kingston! I thought you were staying in Carwee Town.
KINGSTON: The situation has changed. There's not a minute to waste,
since the Eurus Knights have been annihilated. We're forming
a specialized protection unit, the "Crow Knights"!
HEATH: Crow Knights?
KINGSTON: The best of the best from the Eurus and Zephyroth Knights. A
super elite unit.
ANDRE: I'm the Crow Knights' Leader!
KINGSTON: The Crow Knights will protect the Holy Capital and the Church
headquarters. They're going to protect His Holiness from
those repugnant Witches!
HEATH: An excellent idea, Your Eminence! But why did you came all the
way here to tell us this?
KINGSTON: Arc Knight, Heath!
HEATH: Yes, Sir!
KINGSTON: You are hereby commissioned as a Crow Knight.
HEATH: !
ALPH: What!?
KINGSTON: Grand Cardinal Johannes has also agreed. Do you accept?
HEATH: But, I thought I was in charge of the Garden Children...
KINGSTON: This is a commandment from God's mouthpiece. Are you going to
disobey?
HEATH: Ah...No, sir [should be capitalized]. I'll gladly serve as Crow
Knight.
ANDRE: From now on, you are under MY command. Guahahahaha!
ALPH: What should we do without Sir Heath?
LEON: Are you breaking us all up?
KINGSTON: No, you Garden Children have an important mission to
accomplish.
THEO: Important mission?
ANDRE: That's right! This is a direct order from Cardinal Kingston! You
should be honored.
HEATH: What is their mission?
KINGSTON: Condemn the Witch of Immolation, and...find and secure all of
the Lapistier. We must prevent those abominable Witches from
gaining more power, so bring them directly to me at the
Luminous Church.
LEON: Condemn the Witch of Immolation...
THEO And find the Lapistier!
HEATH: Your Holiness! They are not ready for that type of...
KINGSTON: They'll be fine, Heath. After all, they're the young elites
trained by the "Cleansing Flame." They will certainly exceed
our greatest expectations. Or do you lack faith in your
students?
HEATH: No, it isn't that...
KINGSTON: Very well then. It is decided. From this point forward...The
Garden Children are now a special squadron known as...the
[should be capitalized] Witch Busters.
LEON: Uh...The Witch Busters...?
ANDRE: Cardinal Kingston, can we give them a better name?
KINGSTON: Y-You don't like "Witch Busters"?
HEATH: Since we are the Crow Knights, what if they were God's hunting
dogs? Fatal Hounds!
KINGSTON: Hmmm...Fatal Hounds, you say? I guess it's not a bad name.
Very well. You Garden Children will be known as the Fatal
Hounds from now on!
LEON: God's hunting dogs...
ALPH: The Fatal Hounds!
KINGSTON: Now then, most valiant young members of the Fatal Hounds
...You have been given a new mission of the utmost
importance. However, your knowledge of Witches and Lapistier
must still be limited. Enlighten yourselves at the library to
prepare for the task at hand. I hereby grant you access to
the research data at the Church. Study hard.
HEATH: Thank you very much, Cardinal Kingston. Okay, everyone. You are
dismissed for now. We shall meet again in the evening.
ALPH: Yes, Sir!

X=====================================================================X
CECILLE: I never dreamed such a thing could happen to the Knights.
THEO: I can't believe a Witch did this...It's terrible, Alph.
CECILLE: So the Witches have this much power with the Lapistier?
THEO: I'm scared, Big Brother...
ALPH: The Witch of Immolation...Slaughtering the Eurus Knights like
that! She was behind the attack on Carwee Town, as well!
CECILLE: It seems that we were really lucky when we encountered her.
The Water Lapistier wasn't stolen from us.
LEON: But now that I think about it, she didn't use any gigantic flash
on us! If the Witch of Immolation is powerful enough to destroy
the Knights...Why didn't she use that huge flash when we were
fighting against her?
ALPH: That's true...
THEO: Maybe it was because Lucia...who's also a Witch, was there?
CECILLE: Maybe there's another reason?
ALPH: I don't think we know enough about the Witches to figure this out
now. But, we do know that we're going to be facing these Witches
again soon.
LEON: Yeah. So we can't be scared of them. There's no backing down. I'm
pumped! Let's do this!
THEO: Yeah!
X=====================================================================X

X=====================================================================X
THEO: So we're the Fatal hounds now...Alph, aren't you excited?
ALPH: We've been given a really important mission. We'd better do well!
LEON: Sir Heath is worried about us, but at the same time, he trusts
us. We can't let him down!
CECILLE: Do you think we're fit for this important task...?
LEON: Why are you worrying, Cecille? We haven't even started the
mission yet.
CECILLE: I know, but still...
LEON: Look, we're all a little nervous. But, people are counting on us.
We can't fail!
ALPH: That's right, Cecille! We can do this!
THEO: I'm...depending on you, Cecille!
CECILLE: Yes, you're right...Thank you, everyone. Let's do our best!
ALPH: Yeah!

X=====================================================================X
ALPH: Sir Heath.
HEATH: You're here. Your mission is to collect the Lapistier and
condemn the Witch of Immolation. I understand that this is a
dangerous mission for your youngsters. However, this has been
decreed by the Luminous Church. You cannot refuse.
ALPH: That Witch is going to be tough enough, but finding the Lapistier
on top of that...
THEO: Hey, Alph. How many Lapistier are there?
ALPH: Well, so far we've seen two: Water and Wind...
LEON: If there are two, that means there are probably more out there,
right?
HEATH: That's also a matter of debate among the Luminous Church, I
hear. Finding the Lapistier will be tough, but you must do so to
defeat the Witches.
CECILLE: If this will lead to a peaceful planet, then we will
accomplish our mission.
HEATH: Exactly, Cecille. Your years of intensive training have all been
leading up to this day. This mission is crucial, and you are the
only ones who can do it. Although I'm not fighting alongside
you, fight together as a team, and you can win.
ALPH: Yes, Sir!
HEATH: Alph. Come over here for a moment.
ALPH: Yes?
HEATH: Fight me.
ALPH: Huh?
HEATH: Show me your strength.
ALPH: Sir Heath...
HEATH: The rest of you cannot interfere.
THEO: Go, Big Brother!
LEON: You can take him, Alph!
HEATH: Give me your best shot, Alph!
ALPH: Yes, Sir!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
HEATH: Not bad, Alph. I feel a bit more relieved now. Alph. I am
appointing you leader of the Fatal Hounds.
ALPH: Yes, Sir!
CECILLE: Congratulations, Alph.
THEO: Go, Big Brother!
LEON: I would've chosen a different leader, but if that's Sir Heath's
decision...
APH: Well, since we all agree...Let's get that Witch of Immolation!
CECILLE: What...Already?
ALPH: We don't know what that damn Witch of Immolation is doing right
now while we're just sitting here!
LEON: And, where exactly are we headed?
ALPH: Ummmm...That's a good question...
LEON: Hey, what happened to your spirit?
HEATH: The Church has left you some directions. You need to obtain
information from Nikolai about the Witch of Immolation.
ALPH: Nikolai? The guy that left the Ever Garden about six months ago?
LEON: I see! Wasn't he given special permission to research the
Witches?
ALPH: Where's Nikolai now?
CECILLE: ...He should be at the gateway of this continent, the port
town Ridget.
ALPH: How do you know that, Cecille?
CECILLE: I get letters from him once a week.
LEON: Which reminds me...You were his favorite, weren't you? Aww, isn't
it sweet how he keeps sending you a letter once a week?
CECILLE: It's not like that...Nikolai just sends them to me by himself.
I've never once written him back.
THEO: Let's go meet Nikolai!
ALPH: Yeah!
HEATH: Well, I will be going to the Holy Capital. I won't be seeing you
of a while, but I believe in you all. Remember, you must never
abandon the ones you are protecting. Do not forget this!
ALPH: Yes, Sir!
HEATH: Protect the Light, condemn the Dark.

Theo was still just a baby. I remember having to change his
diapers every day.
THEO: Th-That was a long time ago, You can stop talking about it...
LEON: You too, Cecille. We used to take baths together, remember?
CECILLE: Wh-What are you talking about?
LEON: But...I still can't believe that we used to be those little kids.
And now, we're Fatal Hounds, going up against Witches. Huh...
CECILLE: Yeah.
ALPH: We can't let down the people in the Church who raised us. We have
to train so that we don't embarrass them as Fatal Hounds!
LEON: Right.
CECILLE: Let's do our best!

CECILLE: Ridget used to be famous for being a beautiful town...
Civilian: Isn't this awful? Ridget used to be called the Emerald of the
Eastern Continent, but now look...
LEON: What happened?
Civilian: A Witch just appeared out of nowhere and destroyed
everything!
LEON: Was it the Witch of Immolation, who controls fire?
Civilian: Yeah! With that huge scythe...I don't even want to think
about it!
CECILLE: Is anyone hurt? I'm ready to help in any way I can.
Civilian: To tell you the truth, Priestess, nobody was hurt or killed.
Some stranger came and cast a healing spell, saving us all.
CECILLE: Healing magic? I thought that only people from the Church
could use it...
THEO: Could it be...a Witch?
ALPH: Could it be Lucia!?
???: [Saki] You all seem to be fine.
LEON: Whoa! I thought my heart was gonna leap out of my chest!
CECILLE: Oh! Saki!
LEON: Oh, it's you, Saki. Didn't anyone ever tell you not to sneak up
on friends?
SAKI: Sir Heath has ordered me...to accompany you.
CECILLE: Really?
SAKI: My orders are to assist you by using my tracking abilities to
find Witches. So from now on, I am assigned to the Fatal Hounds,
as well.
ALPH: Awesome!
THEO: Welcome back, Saki.
CECILLE: I'm glad we're all back together again.
SAKI: Yes.
ALPH: Okay! Let's get to Nikolai's place.
LEON: Where does he live?
SAI: He went to the Western Continent.
LEON: Huh!? Are you serious!?
SAKI: My information is always accurate...Do you need a demonstration?
Leon. You went to the flower shop last week to talk to Julia,
and...
LEON: All right, all right! Your information is always accurate!
THEO: The Western Continent, huh...? What should be do now, Alph?
ALPH: Well, we can't just sit here and do nothing. We should go look
for Nikolai.
CECILLE: So, are we going to the Western Continent?
SAKI: Ridget runs a ferry service.

that.
CECILLE: Well, how have you been doing these days, Saki?
SAKI: I am fine. I'm pleased to see that you are all doing well.
ALPH: Yeah, you're usually out on your secret intelligence-gathering
missions. That's why we don't see you at the Ever Garden very
often.
CECILLE: I'm so happy that you can come along with us on this mission,
though!
SAI: Yes. I am pleased, too.
THEO: Once we find Nikolai, we'll have everyone from the Garden.
LEON: But, why in the world did Nikolai go to the Western Continent?
SAKI: My intelligence suggests that he is seeking out Witches.
ALPH: Witches!?
SAKI: When the Witch of Immolation was here, someone heard her
speak...She said..."God's light will be heading to the Western
Continent."
ALPH: Then the Witch of Immolation should be going there, too!
CECILLE: We have to hurry. I'm worried about Nikolai.
LEON: But he's not really the type of guy we have to worry about, is
he?
ALPH: I'm more concerned about the Witch. Let's go to the Western
Continent.

THEO: Do you think it was the Witch of Immolation who attacked Ridget?
SAKI: Yes. I am certain of it.

CECILLE: Only priests trained by the Church can use healing magic. We
can only use it by getting God's permission to use his powers
of light.
LEON: Hmm...Something's weird here...If only people from the Church can
use healing spells, then why isn't there anyone like that around
here?
SAKI: The information we have implies that the person is not from the
Church.
THEO: Someone who can use those powers but isn't from the Church...
ALPH: So, is it a Witch!?
THEO: But if that's the case, then a Witch saved the people in the
town...

town filled with Witches!
LEON: What!?

NIKOLAI: It also holds the Mother of all the Lapistier...Mother Lapis!
THEO: Mother Lapis?
NIKOLAI: It's a mother-like spirit that is the source of the Lapistier.
It could be the Witches' source of magic.
CECILLE: I can't believe it.
NIKOLAI: I don't blame you for not believing me, but this is the result
of my research. I'm sure that I'm right about this.
CECILLE: But, Nikolai, let's assume for a moment that this town, and
Mother Lapis, exist. Why has the Church done nothing about it?
They would act immediately!
NIKOLAI: That's a very good point, my love. A very good point. That's
the part that I can't quite figure out yet. What is preventing
the Church from executing any punitive measures?
THEO: I don't understand Nikolai...He uses hard words I don't know...

out all that information by yourself. It's too bad
you're just a human.

said before!

Witch of Immolation: I came here to spend some quality adult time!
SAKI: It appears that she was drinking alone. How very un-feminine...
CECILLE: I don't think she can keep a man.

this is the end for all of you! I will turn you
all into ashes!
NIKOLAI: Woohoo! I'm going to have a fight with a lovely Witch!
Witch of Immolation: ...Uh...Whatever! Prepare to die!
ALPH: Yeah, right! Bring it on!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
Witch of Immolation: Damn...That power of yours...It seems like you
really ARE Lucia's Rym.
ALPH: That word "Rym" Again! Just what the hell is a Rym!?
Witch of Immolation: But, I won't let Lucia have you! You're mine, kid!
Come to me...And bring forth the bravery of the
heavens...Nogila Megila! (flash)
ALPH: Nooo!
THEO: Look out, brother (supposed to be capitalized)!
ALPH: What!?
THEO: (attack) Uaarggh!
Witch of Immolation: Damn it! Why'd you get in my way!?
ALPH: Theo!
THEO: A-Are you okay, Big Brother...? Ugh...! (crash)
ALPH: Theo! Are you okay!? THEO!
CECILLE: Stay with us, Theo!
THEO: Ugh...I feel so hot...I'm burning up...
ALPH: Witch of Immolation! I'll never forgive you for this! Yaaaaah!
(slice)
Witch of Immolation: Argh! Casting that Rune used up all of my
energy...Fine...I'll walk away. ...This time. But,
you will be mine somday. Ahaha!(warp)
ALPH: Wait!
SAKI: Stop, Alph...
LEON: We'll go after the Witch. You stay here with Theo!
ALPH: But...!
LEON: Your brother needs you, man!
ALPH: I...okay. (Leon and Saki run off) Theo, are you all right?
THEO: Yeah...I feel a lot better now, thanks to Cecille...
NIKOLAI: It seems like that was one of the ancient Runes.
CECILLE: What should we do now, Nikolai?
NIKOLAI: I am not sure. The only one who would know is the caster, my
lovely Witch.
ALPH: I'm sorry...This is all because of me.
THEO: No, Big Brother...You don't have to apologize...
ALPH: But if I'd only been more careful...
THEO: Brother! I'm a member of the Fatal Hounds, too! This is nothing.
So...You don't have to...worry about...
ALPH: Theo!!
CECILLE: He's fallen asleep.
NIKOLAI: Hmm...Theo's grown up a lot while I was gone, hasn't he?
CECILLE: Yes. He's a great crusader, just like Alph.
LEON: *pant* *pant* Sorry.we lost her.
SAKI: What is Theo's condition?
CECILLE: He'll be fine. He's asleep now.
ALPH: That Witch of Immolation...She won't get away next time!
LEON: But, we don't know where she went, man...
NIKOLAI: It seems my lovely Witch of Immolation has an interest in
Alph. I'm sure that she'll come back to us eventually. She did
say, "You will be mine..."
ALPH: Why me!?
NIKOLAI: Ahh...If I were in your place, I'd already be hers.
CECILLE: Let's get back to the inn. I want to get Theo to bed.
LEON: Right.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
THEO: Where am I...? I'm in bed? Did I faint? Ugh, it hurts! My
arm...It feels like it's being torn off...! What happened to my
arm!? (flash) ...Nooo! Wh-What is this!? M-My arm!
SAKI: Theo! Your arm...! (flash)
THEO: *gasp* Saki!
SAKI: It is fortunate that I came here to check on you. I will go get
Cecille...
THEO: No! Please...Don't tell anyone!
SAKI: Hm? You do not want assistance?
THEO: I-I'm fine! Please, don't let them know! I don't want you all...
or my brother to worry about me!
SAKI: Theo...
THEO: Please! ...I'm begging you...
SAKI: ...As you wish.
THEO: Thank you...
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
LEON: So, now what? What're we gonna do?
ALPH: We have to catch the Witch of Immolation, of course!
LEON: But, we don't know where she is!
NIKOLAI: She must be in the Lethe Forest. It's our best bet.
LEON: Last time you said that, she was at the bar. I'm done listening
to you, man.
NIKOLAI: I...I don't have any reply for that.
LEON: Hey, Alph. Let's forget about chasing down that Witch of
Immolation for now. Let's look for some Lapistier.
CECILLE: I think that's a good idea. That's part of our mission, too.
ALPH: Yeah, but...We can't just let the Witches run around out there!
SAKI: If we pursue the Lapistier, we will encounter the Witch of
Immolation.
CECILLE: Where have you been, Saki?
SAKI: ...Picking flowers.
ALPH: What do you mean, Saki? How do you know that if we go after the
Lapistier, then we'll run into her again?
SAKI: The Witch of Immolation is collecting Lapistier...That is why she
attacked the Eurus Knights in and the town of Carwee.
NIKOLAI: Hmm...Perhaps the Witch of Immolation has the ability to
locate the Lapistier...
SAKI: I do not know about the abilities of Witches...However, I do know
that they are hunting for Lapistier.
LEON: So, if we start looking for Lapistier, we'll find her. Two birds,
one stone!
SAKI: right...
ALPH: Do you know where the Lapistier are?
SAKI: To the west, in the town of Dotruvar, they say there is a
mysterious stone. There is a high chance that this is the Fire
Lapistier.
CECILLE: Thank you for the information, Saki.
NIKOLAI: So the Fire Lapistier...My lovely Witch who controls fire will
surely try to find it!
LEON: For once, I actually agree with Nikolai. The Witch of
Immolation's gotta be going after the Fire Lapistier.
ALPH: All right. We'll have to get to the Fire Lapistier before the
Witch does! First thing tomorrow morning, we're heading for
Dotruvar.

ALPH: What town is this?
NIKOLAI: this is Gemarr, a mining town. We're still a ways from
Dotruvar.
CECILLE: We've walked so far...We should take a break here.
LEON: Man, I'm hungry...
THEO: Me too! I want some egg custard!
LEON: The Gemasa Mushroom grows around here. It's supposed to be really
tasty, man!
ALPH: You guys never shut up about food...
SAKI: Amazing! His information network even covers small towns like
this?
THEO: Hello!
Civilian: Huh...We have visitors?
NIKOLAI: We are the Fatal Hounds. We're traveling the world to fight
Witches.
Civilian: "Fetal Clowns?" What's that?
NIKOLAI: No! The Fatal Hounds.
Civilian: Hmph. You all look suspicious. I don't trust you outsiders.
Once you're done with your business here, please leave.
LEON: What the hell was that about?
SAKI: That was blunt...
CECILLE: This seems like a protective little town.
NIKOLAI: There's nothing we can do about that, my dear. Wherever you
go, the customs and manners of the natives vary wildly.
CECILLE: I don't know...It seems like this is a little different from
that, though.
THEO: Ugh...
CECILLE: What's wrong, Theo?

THEO: Y-Yeah. I'm fine...
ALPH: If you're not feeling well, just tell me, okay?
THEO: I'm fine, Big Brother! I'm fine...Hey, let's go look around the

THEO: I'm okay, Big Brother.
ALPH: Are you hungry? I'll go get you something.
THEO: I wanna eat steak quiche!
SAKI: A dish with high egg content, as usual. However, adding steak to
a quiche...? That sounds like quite an unorthodox recipe.
CECILLE: At least he has an appetite. He must be feeling better.
ALPH: Okay, I'll go get it for you.
THEO: Yay!
LEON: Hey, Alph, don't you think you're spoiling Theo a little here?
ALPH: He's my only brother! I'm worried about him!
LEON: If you keep worrying like that...Theo's gonna stay like this
forever, man.
NIKOLAI: are you concerned about Theo as well, Leon?
CECILLE: Theo will be fine, guys.
THEO: You're all so nice. I love you all! I'm doing my best. So there's
no need to worry!
LEON & ALPH: Um...*sigh*
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> NIKOLAI |
X=====================================================================X
NIKOLAI: Gemarr is famous for stones. But since there are so many here,
there might be some Rune sleeping in the area as well.
ALPH: Rune? What does that have to do with rocks?
NIKOLAI: The magic that my beloved Witches and our priests use comes
from Rune. However, there are stones that contain the power of
Rune inside them. This power is known as Vitae. You've read
about this before, correct?
SAKI: Stones with power inside them...That sounds like a Lapistier.
NIKOLAI: Indeed. The concept is similar to how my lovely Witches gain
their powers. But of course, no other stone is as powerful as
the Lapistier. Still, the general public is banned from using
Rune. They're probably of no use to this town.

THEO: Because...Because I didn't want my brother to hate me because of
this!
ALPH: You're my only brother! Why would I hate you!?
LEON: He's right, Theo. None of us would hold this against you.
THEO: But, I...
ALPH: You idiot! (smack)
THEO: B-Brother?
ALPH: Why didn't you talk to me earlier!? Do you think you can't depend
on me? Do you think you can't trust me!?
SAKI: Enough, Alph. Theo has been struggling with the pain on his own.
He didn't want to cause anyone...you, especially...any trouble.
He was wrestling with the pain and the fear that you would turn
against him. Please try to understand how Theo feels.
ALPH: ...
CECILLE: That's right, Alph. Theo is the one who is hurting most. Don't
be upset with him.
ALPH: Y-You're right...I was so worried and angry when I saw your
arm...Please forgive me, Theo. I'm sorry.
THEO: No, I'm sorry too...for trying to hide this...
LEON: What's gonna happen to Theo now? I mean, it may just be his arm
now, but is it gonna spread to the rest of him?
ALPH: That's not going to happen! Don't even say something like that!
NIKOLAI: No, Leon is right to be concerned.
ALPH: What?
NIKOLAI: If we let Theo's condition continue, he will turn into a
dragon.
LEON: Then what do we have to do to uncurse Theo, Nikolai?
NIKOLAI: The person who used the Rune...We will have to ask the lovely
Witch of Immolation to uncurse Theo. Maybe the other lovely
Witches will have some hints, but...
ALPH: That damned Witch!
Civilian [3]: There he is! The monster brat!
Civilian [2] Damned freak! Get out of this town!

defeat the monsters!

out of here!

LEON: So this is Dotruvar.
Civilian: 'Oi! Are you guys visitors? Welcome to the smithery town of
Dotruvar! C'mon in!
LEON: I guess they're happy to see some tourists in this town.
Civilian: Ahaha, I take it ya went to Gemarr? Now there's a buncha hard
headed folk. Did they say anythin' bad ta hurt your feelings?
THEO: ...
Civilian: Aw, well. They're aint so bad after ya git to know'em!
LEON: What a huge difference between here and that other town...
NIKOLAI: This area of the continent has a wide variety of stone and
metal resources. It's natural that the towns would be a little
competitive for mining rights. That's why there's a rivalry
between the peoples of the two villages. Since Dotruvar
manufactures goods, and doesn't just mine, traders often
visit.
Civilian: Ayup! Visitors are always welcome! Weapons, cookware...we
make everything!
CECILLE: Pardon me, but I hard that there was a shining stone in this
town.
Civilian: Are you talking about the Furnace God, Hernas?
CECILLE: The stone...is a god?
Civilian: Oh, no, Ms. Priestess. That'd be silly. He just lives in the
stone. For the blacksmiths here, the fire of the furnace is
our lifeblood. Hernas is the god of Fire, y'see. That makes
him the God of blacksmiths! He's only here by the blessing of
the Luminous God, of course. Ha ha ha...If you're interested
in Hernas, you should check out Godor's workshop. That's
where Hernas's furnace is.
LEON: Well, all right. Let's get going. Let's head to Godor's workshop.

ALPH: Yeah...but...

rush into things that could jeopardize us all.

...I wish I could do something to make him feel a little bit
better...Oh yeah, Alph. Do you remember when we were young,
Theo had a fever, and we went for herbs?
ALPH: Yeah...We went out into the forest to look for the herbs...But we
got lost. You were such a crybaby. You kept bawling and saying
we'd never get home. That was horrible...I'm glad Sir Heath heard
you and found us, though.
CECILLE: Quit it! You always call me a crybaby. ...Hey, wait. That
wasn't my point! Stop sidetracking me. Anyway, that herb we
were looking for can be used as a pain reliever as well.
ALPH: What do you mean?
CECILLE: If we found some more of that herb, we might be able to ease
his pain.
ALPH: Let's go find that herb, then!

Godor: Oh, you've come to pray to Hernas? Great! We have souvenirs for
sale as well. Take some home to you r families!
CECILLE: Er, no...We are here by order of the Church to search for
Lapistier.
LEON: They call us "Fatal Hounds!"
Godor: Facial Mounds?
LEON: You're doing that on purpose, aren't you?
Godor: W-Wait a minute. Are you telling me that the Furnace God Hernas
is a Lapistier?
NIKOLAI: That's what we're here to find out.
Godor: Uh...What'll you do if it turns out Hernas is a Lapistier?
ALPH: We will confiscate it so that the Witches will not be able to
take it.
Godor: No, no! Hernas is the God of Fire! He lends his power to all our
forges here! If you take our god away, we won't be able to be a
town famous for its metalwork anymore!
ALPH: The Eastern Continent's Eurus Knights...have been wiped out by a
Witch who tried to obtain the Wind Lapistier. The Witches think
nothing of ending human lives to gain their Lapistier.
Godor: But you'd be ending our livelihoods! What about our lives,
then!?
LEON: You wouldn't even be alive to complain if a Witch killed you, old
man!
Godor: But...!
CECILLE: Please, at least let us check to see if your Hernas is a
Lapistier or not.
Godor: ...All right. This is Hernas, our god.

well!

Come fight by my side!
ALPH: That's enough of your nonsense!
NIKOLAI: Weren't dragon the enemies of the Witches long ago?
Witch of Immolation: Psh! That's just a stupid myth your Church made
up.
NIKOLAI: What!?
Witch of Immolation: The dragons are here to protect the planet. They
are created by the planet. When the Witches and
the Dragons come together, they are supremely
powerful. Powerful enough to suppress gods!
NIKOLAI: I've never heard that before...

to you.

LUCIA: More than one or two things.
THEO: I see. You've been pretty busy, then?
LUCIA: That's right.
LEON: Many things, huh...?
ALPH: You'd better not have attacked any town full of innocent people
or stolen any more Lapistier, Lucia!
LUCIA: And why would I do that? I can't believe you're this stubborn.
ALPH: Because you're with that Witch of Immolation! ...Right?
LUCIA: True, I am a Witch like her. But...There are many differences
between us! M A N Y T H I N G S ! Argh! If I had to sit here
and explain it so that you can understand it, we'd be here until
the sun burns out. So, how about you just shut up and come
along with me?
ALPH: What!? ...Tch!
NIKOLAI: Mmmmm! This forest...it smells like Rune!
LUCIA: This is one of the few lands where you God's power cannot reach.
That's why we Witches like it so much. We've cast spells to keep
people like you from entering. It's our home.
NIKOLAI: I knew it! Hahaha! My nose never fails me! Ahh! I'm surrounded
by this beautiful Rune! It's wonderful~
THEO: ...
LUCIA: Does the lunatic have to come with us?
CECILLE: He can be very helpful sometimes. Please bear with him.

CECILLE: ...
ALPH: What's wrong, Cecille? You seem bothered about something.
CECILLE: Are we really going to the Witch Village...?
ALPH: We need to go there to cure Theo's curse.
CECILLE: But if we really go to the Witches and accept their help...I
don't think we'll be any different than the Witches...
ALPH: Huh?
CECILLE: Am I wrong? We're members of the Church. We're not allowed to
enter the Lethe Forest. If we disobey the Church's
laws...We're agreeing with the Witches, right? Do you expect
me, a priestess, to go with the Witches? It's like the people
in Gemarr of Dotruvar said...We won't be any different from
the monsters...!
ALPH: Wha!? Calm down, Cecille! We're going to the Village to save
Theo!
LEON: Yeah! We're going to help our friend! Are you saying that that's
what a monster would do? Of course not, right?
CECILLE: ...Yes, I guess you're right.

SAKI: I have a question, Lucia. What is required to neutralized the
curse afflicting Theo?
LUCIA: There is a stone that can cancel out the Rune. In order for us
to use it though, we need to get something.
ALPH: Where do we get that stone?
LUCIA: After we're done in the forest, we'll go there next. So shut up.
ALPH: What!?
LEON: ...Lucia's always so harsh with Alph. Hmm...Could it be...?
LUCIA: (slap)
LEON: Gah!

CECILLE: A whole village of Witches...
SAKI: What's troubling you, Cecille?
CECILLE: I am a priestess of the Church. I could not atone if I entered
this village...If we were to ask the Church, I'm sure we could
help Theo without Witches...And...And asking Witches to help
us is...
ALPH: ...
LUCIA: Did I do something wrong?
CECILLE: No, no...I'm very glad that you have offered to help, but...
NIKOLAI: My love, Cecille is a priestess. I totally understand how you
feel, dear.
ALPH: Cecille...Go back to the Garden. Huh? Everyone else, too. Theo
and I will go on into the village.
LEON: Wait, what are you saying?
ALPH: We're breaking the Church's laws by accepting the Witches' help.
I don't want you all to be in trouble just because of my brother.
CECILLE: Alph...
LEON: Heh, I'm going too, man.
ALPH: What?
LEON: We've been together for longer than I can even remember, Alph. I
think of him as my own little bro. So, I'm going, no matter what
you say. All we have to do is not get caught, right? Ha!
ALPH: Leon...
NIKOLAI: I will accompany you. I'll never get another chance to visit
Witch Heaven. Wild horses couldn't drag me away from this
opportunity. I'm sure Theo would be sad if I didn't come
along.
SAKI: I will accompany you, as well...For Theo.
ALPH: You guys...
THEO: Thank you. I'm happy that you're all with me.
CECILLE: I...
LEON: You don't have to come, Cecille. We're not in the same position
as you.
SAKI: I will escort her back to the Garden. It's too risky for her to
go alone. But, if I'm by myself I'll be able to catch up with
everyone else.
LEON: Okay. Can you do that, Saki?
NIKOLAI: Mmmmmm...
ALPH: What's wrong, Nikolai?
(flash)
NIKOLAI: BIIIIIINNNNG! Oh, that feeling...There's a lovely Witch close
by!
ALPH: What?
LUCIA: That's an odd sense you have...But, you're right. There is a
Witch living here.
NIKOLAI: Really!?
LUCIA: Vivi! Please come out! It's me!
(warp)
Sky Witch: Ohhhh, long time no see, Luciaaaa...
LUCIA: Vivi! You seem to be doing well.
Sky Witch: I had a nice loooooooong nap today. I feel great.
NIKOLAI: Um...My lady Lucia...Who might this lovely Witch be.
LUCIA: She's the Sky Witch, Vivi.
Sky Witch: Everybody calls me...*yawn* The Sky Witch.
NIKOLAI: Aaah! My lovely Sky Witch! Please, spin me into a tornado of
love!
Sky Witch: Ahhhh! Get away from me! (wind attack)

Argh...My back hurts...But, I'm happy...
LEON: *Sigh* He's gonna be like this forever, isn't he?
Sky Witch: So, Lucia...What's up...?
LUCIA: I came to get the Chronos Gem. Vanessa has cast the Dragon Rune
on this boy...
THEO: What's a Chronos Gem?
LUCIA: It's a stone that we need to remove your curse. Please, Vivi.
Sky Witch: Oooohhh..What should I dooo...?
ALPH: Please! Help my brother!
Sky Witch: Okaaay, let's play tag.
ALPH: Huh?
Sky Witch: If you can catch me...I'll give you this gem...
LUCIA: I knew this was going to happen...Vivi loves to play tag.
ALPH: That's all? We just play tag with her? Piece of cake!
LUCIA: Vivi's really fast. Don't underestimate her.
Sky Witch: Here we goo...Ready...set, goooo! (warp)
ALPH: Whoa! She's fast!
LUCIA: In order to catch Vivi, "two of us must sandwich her." Alph, be
careful.
ALPH: So, "she must be between two of our people" in order to catch
her, right?
LUCIA: Yeah, that's the idea.
ALPH: Gotcha! All right, here we come!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
Sky Witch: Aww...You caught me.
LEON: *pant* *pant* She's so fast...
Sky Witch: Okay, best two out of three...
LEON: Whaaa!?
Sky Witch: ...But I'm too lazy, so whatever. Never mind.
LEON: What the hell...?
(flash)
Sky Witch: Here's the "Chronos Gem..."
LUCIA: Thank you, Vivi!
ALPH: Thank you very much!
Sky Witch: Youo're welcome...See you guys later...
LUCIA: Wait, Vivi!
Sky Witch: Huh? Yeah?
LUCIA: Help us stop Vanessa! Vanessa thinks she can defeat their god
with the power of the Lapistier.
Sky Witch: Whaaa? Lapistier are for healing the planet, not defeating
things...
THEO: The planet...? What, this planet?
NIKOLAI: The stories that we heard from the Church always said that the
Lapistier...were made to destroy the world. What you say
doesn't match up with our own legends at all.
LUCIA: Please, Vivi!
Sky Witch: Meh. Naaah...I don't care about Vanessa...I don't want to
commit to anything...I'm going to live as freely as I want,
with no restraints...If I feel like helping you, I guess I
might lend a hand...Laaaater, everyone. Bye-bye... (warp)
LUCIA: Vivi! Hey!
NIKOLAI: Living freely without restraints...That's not an easy thing to
do. Mmm, my lovely Sky Witch is so wonderful!
CECILLE: Living freely...
ALPH: I guess there must be slacker Witches, just like slacker
humans...
LUCIA: She's the weirdest one out of all of us. Okay. Let's get going.
SAKI: Cecille...Let us go back to the Ever Garden...
CECILLE: No, I'll go with everyone else.
LEON: Huh?
CECILLE: I...am going to live freely. You people are the most important
things I have right now.
LEON: Cecille...
NIKOLAI: And the most important is me, right? Right?
LEON: Will you please shut UP!? (smack)

SAKI: I thought Witches would be evil, but after doing my own
intelligence, it appears that my initial assessment was
inaccurate.
CECILLE: They seem willing to help us...
ALPH: But the Witch of Immolation isn't like that.
THEO: Maybe...Not all Witches are bad like that Witch of Immolation?
LEON: If you see it that way, then they're no different than humans.
You get good ones, you get bad ones.
NIKOLAI: Leon! Please refrain from lumping my lovely Witches into a
category with yourself! My beloved Witches are
different...They're the embodiment of mystery. Ahh~
LEON: All right, Nikolai, all right. That's more than enough of that.
CECILLE: Then why does the Church teach us that the Witches are evil?
LUCIA: Oh, that's easy. It's because we're fighting against your god.
CECILLE: Fighting against our God...? So, then...
LUCIA: If you truly believe your god is right, then even you people
would have to think that the Witches are your enemies.
ALPH: ...And if not?
LUCIA: *sigh* ...Think about it! Hmph!
ALPH: Wh-What's wrong?

MEL: Well? Shall we skeedaddle?

want this time?
MEL: I had my own reasons back then. Don't cry over spilled milk. We've
gotta concentrate on saving Theo now, right?

You're dense.
ALPH: What!? That's God's word!
LUCIA: You...You don't even know what your god is...Let me tell you
something! Witches didn't summon the monsters! That's just a
lie! Understand!?
ALPH: A lie!?
LUCIA: We Witches represent the natural elements of this planet. But
monsters are different. They do not represent any element.

CECILLE: Oh, it's Provost Hugo. Why are you here?
HUGO: You've all done very well, Garden Children...Rather, Fatal
Hounds! Umm. We are here to take Theo into custody.
ALPH: Custody? What do you mean?
HUGO: According to our information, Theo has been cursed by a Witch.
ALPH: How do you know that?
ANDRE: Don't underestimate our information network! Everything you kids
do is under our watchful eyes!
HUGO: And, umm...His Holiness Johannes will cleanse the curse of the
dragon from his body.
CECILLE: His Holiness Johannes! The Grand Cardinal!?
HUGO: Yes. Grand Cardinal Johannes has taken great pity on Theo after
hearing what has happened to him. The Grand Cardinal wishes to
cleanse the curse from Theo's soul.
CECILLE: The Grand Cardinal! What an honor!
ANDRE: Ahhhh, but...! There is one condition...
ALPH: Condition?
ANDRE: The girls you are with! Yes! The evil Witches! You must punish
them right here! Right in front of us!
CECILLE: Wait! They were trying to help break Theo's curse...
HUGO: How unconscionable! A priestess, commiserating with Witches?
CECILLE: U-Um...
ANDRE: Fatal Hounds! What is your mission!? Wasn't it to punish
Witches!? You ignored your orders and fraternized with the vile
enemy! If I were a...less kind man, I would send you to the
executioners! But since I'm so nice, I will give you one last
chance! Now, punish the Witches!

LUCIA: If you say you will fight us, then we will fight back. But we
can't lose. We will fight you with all our power!

will...But...

start, you traitors! I was going to execute you after you killed
those Witches, but I see you are completely useless! I will kill
you all with my huge muscles...Even the Witches![
HUGO: Sir Andre, please...Do not slay the child, Theo.
ANDRE: Shut up! We only need that arm of his, right?
HUGO: Well, yes, but...
ALPH: Hey! What does that mean!?
ANDRE: We're going to take that arm and do some experiments on it.
Since a Witch's curse if rare, that arm will be a sample of its
power!
CECILLE: H-How could you...?

you are, Garden Children! And it was us, the Luminous Church,
who gave you a reason to live! This rebellion will never be
forgiven! You punks are simply extra baggage on the Church's
back! Don't think this is over! You will pay for this! Hugo,
let's get out of here!

LEON: Well, I was expecting something like that, so I don't really
care.
CECILLE: ...
SAKI: Cecille...?
NIKOLAI: We can't blame her for feeling so badly. She has always
believed so strongly in the Luminous Church...It must be a big
shock to be tossed out, just like that.
CECILLE: No, that's not it. I just can't believe they were planning to
use Theo for experiments...
CECILLE: No, I can't forgive them!
LEON: I'm guessing there's something we didn't know about the Church.
Something really big.

original form.

CLAIRE: I'm sorry if I have angered you. However, that is the truth. It
might be very hard for Theo to accept, but...

dragon as well.
ALPH: !!
LEON: What!?
THEO: B-Brother is a dragon, too...?
ALPH: W-Wait. I'm a dragon? No way...
CLAIRE: Please, look back to the past. Vannessa [spelled wrong in the
game, supposed to be 'Vanessa'] was going to cast her spell on
you, Alph. Not Theo.
ALPH: !
LEON: That's right...Theo was hit by the magic because he protected
Alph...
CLAIRE: Vanessa was going to change you back into your original form.
But, her magic hit Theo instead. I'm sure that Vanessa did not
expect there to be two dragons. Even I was surprised to hear
about Theo.
ALPH: ...I see. That's how it was...So if I'm a dragon, that explains
why Theo is a dragon. But knowing that doesn't really help me
right now! All I want to know is how to change him back into a
human!
CLAIRE: The power of the Rune can be neutralized by the Draconic Geode.
ALPH: Draconic Geode? Where can I find that?
CLAIRE: Lucia has gone to get it.
ALPH: Huh? Why Lucia?
CLAIRE: Lucia feels guilty over the incident involving Theo...
MEL: Claire! Iiyella Volcano is the only place you can get a Draconic
Geode! You made her go to a dangerous place like that all by her
lonesome!?
CLAIRE: Yes. I thought she would be fine...Alph! Lucia's in danger!
ALPH: What!?
MEL: Let's go help her!
ALPH: All right!
VIVI: Oh, wait...Me too...I'll come with...
CLAIRE: Hmm...Did I make an error in judgement [spelled wrong in the

THEO: Okay!

X=====================================================================X
ALPH: This volcano is still inside of the seal around the Lethe Forest,
right?
SAKI: So we are still currently in the forbidden zone...
MEL: Sometimes, the ground shakes, right? That's because of the
volcanic energy. The magma is moving. It means that the planet is
alive.
VIVI: But it's your god's fault that we're having more earthquakes...
CECILLE: Is it...God that's doing all this...?
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> VIVI |
X=====================================================================X
ALPH: I thought you weren't going to help us.
VIVI: Huuuuuuh?
ALPH: You said you didn't want to constrain yourself or something.
VIVI: Oh, really? I did? But, now I want to help Lucia, so I'm
helping...
NIKOLAI: My lovely Vivi is as moody as the clouds...Aahh! I love that
part of her, too! Please give me a moody magic carpet ride, my
love!
VIVI: Noooo, don't touch me...! (magical attack)
NIKOLAI: Yaaay! My lovely Witch's love has sent me flying through the
air! (crash)
ALPH: ...Oooh. That's gonna hurt. I hope love heals all wounds...

THEO: *huff* *puff*
ALPH: *gasp* *pant*
LEON: A-Are we there yet? You said we were almost there...
MEL: You used to find Draconic Geodes around here, but the monsters ate
'em.
THEO: Huh? Monsters eat rocks!?
MEL: Yep. There's a special magic inside Draconic Geodes. They
revitalize the monsters' bodies when they eat them.
VIVI: Lucia...She probably went deeper, into a more dangerous
place...Like a monster's nest...
ALPH: A monster's nest!?
VIVI: I can smell the monsters...Their stink carries in the wind...
MEL: Mmm, this isn't good!
LEON: Hey! You guys! It looks like there's a bunch of monsters over
there!
ALPH: What!?
Monster: Grrrrrr!
LUCIA: (flash) Shine!
Monster: (attack hits) Gyaaar!
LUCIA: I won't let you have this stone!
Monster: Grr...
LUCIA: Move! Get outta my way! (magical attack) Shine!
ALPH: Lucia!
LUCIA: Huh!? Alph?
ALPH: Hey! Don't look away!
Monster: Gruaaaahhh!! (attack)
LUCIA: Ahhhhh!
ALPH: Hi-yaaah! (slice)
Monster: Urgh!
ALPH: Don't ever look away from your enemy during a battle!
LUCIA: You're the one that shouted my name!
ALPH: Don't pin that on me!
LUCIA: What are you doing here, anyway!?
ALPH: Helping you!
LUCIA: I-I didn't need your help!
ALPH: What!?
Monster: Gwarrrr!
ALPH: Can you fight, Lucia!?
LUCIA: Of course I can!
LEON: Alph! Lucia! Are you guys all right!?
ALPH: All right, everyone! Let's give these monsters a beating!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
ALPH: Yes! *huff*
THEO: My brother sure worked hard today, didn't he?
CECILLE: Yes, he did.
THEO: It's like last time, when he tried to save Lucia...I wonder why?
CECILLE: I don't know. But, it certainly seems as if there's something
secret going on between them.
ALPH: Lucia! Why did you come to a dangerous place like this by
yourself!?
LUCIA: ...
ALPH: If we got here a little later you'd have been killed!
LUCIA: ...But...
ALPH: No buts! Do you know how worried we were?
LUCIA: ...Sorry.
ALPH: Huh?
LEON: L-Lucia apologized!
NIKOLAI: Please calm yourself, Alph. My lovely Lucia has done all this
for Theo. Shouldn't you be thanking her before you yell at
her?
ALPH: Uh...Y-Yeah...Thank you, Lucia.
LUCIA: No. Thank you, for helping me.
MEL: Lucia! Did you find the Draconic Geode?
LUCIA: Yeah. Those monsters were eating them, but I managed to get one.
Here it is (shows it).
CECILLE: Phew! We can uncurse Theo now, right?
MEL: Sorry, babydoll. It's not that easy.
CECILLE: What?
MEL: We have to ask the great Sage to refine it for us.
LEON: The Great Sage?
MEL: He knows eeeeeverything.
LUCIA: Let's go. The Great Sage lives past the Witch Village. Let's
head back.

| LIFE OF KOPIN |
X=====================================================================X
KOPIN: Today, myself and the other Kopins met up. We have heated
discussions until morning on topics like world affairs or talk
about what we ate for dinner the night before.

[back at Witch Village]
MEL: Well, we're at our destination. This is the Sage's place.
CLAIRE: We have been waiting for you.
THEO: Oh, Lady Claire!
CLAIRE: I knew that you would be able to pass this trial.
MEL: Hmm...Maybe they didn't really need help from Vivi and me.
VIVI: Their spirits are really close to each other...
CLAIRE: Yes...
???: [Payan] What is it, Claire? It's rather lively out here, yes.
CLAIRE: Lucia and the others have returned, Master Pa-Pa.
???: [Payan] Ooh, Lucia. It's been a while, hasn't it?
NIKOLAI: Th-That animal...It's talking! Is this more lovely Witch
magic?
LEON: Is that a seal? No, wait...A sealion?
CECILLE: Isn't he a manatee?
MEL: You're all so rude! Who do you think he is!? He is the messenger
of the stars...The Great Sage, Payan-Payan!
VIVI: He's a very respected elder! Bow down!
NIKOLAI: *salaam* Hey, wait! Are you trying to trick me?
LEON: He's the sage!? Are you serious?
Sage Payan: Am I not allowed to speak? Am I not allowed to be a sage?
This is a fine example of how humans can be so closed
minded, yes.
CLAIRE: Master Pa-Pa. This is the dragon child and his friends.
Sage Payan: Yes, yes. I can see...You seem to have a great burden on
your shoulders. You want to use the power of the Draconic
Geode to uncurse you, yes?
ALPH: Please, uncurse Theo!
Sage Payan: I understand. Hey, Pollon! Is Pollon-Pollon here?
POLLON: Yes, Master? Have you hurt your back again, ya?
Sage Payan: What? No! Turn this Draconic Geode into a charm to stop
this boy's transformation.
POLLON: Eh? This boy's turning into a dragon, ya? Please, le met see...
THEO: Okay.
POLLON: Oh, this is the Nogila Megila Rune, ya? This must be Vanessa's
Rune. It has both Guts and Heaven. Hmhm...Okay, I got it. I see
you have everything we need. I can make it, ya.
THEO: Really!?
POLLON: yes. Leave it to me. Please hold on a minute, ya?
Sage Payan: Pollon is a student of mine. He can imbue items.
ALPH: Imbue items...?
Sage Payan: That's correct. He mixes Vitae and an item together to
create a new item, with a new effect! We call it imbuing.
THERESE: You can put elements into items to add more effects to them.
ALICE: You can also create rare items, too!
Sage Payan: You've picked up Runes here and there, yes? If you bring
those Runes here, we can identify them. We can then use
them to imbue Vitae.
ALICE: It'll cost some Rico to identify them...
THERESE: So please be careful.
{You are now able to visit Payan-Payan's workshop. The workshop is only
available in the Witch Village.}
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Sage Payan: It should be ready anytime now.
CECILLE: Now Theo won't become a dragon, right?
LEON: That's great!
THEO: I'm sorry I've caused you so much trouble. Thank you all...Thank
you so much!
ALPH: Let me thank you, too. Everyone, thank you!
LEON: No biggie, man! We've been together since we were kids.
NIKOLAI: Indeed. We simply did what had to be done.
THEO: Everyone...
LUCIA: I wish I had friends like you guys...
CECILLE: What are you talking about? You're our friend, too!
LUCIA: Huh?
ALPH: ...You've helped us. You've helped Theo. Of course you're our
friend.
MEL: So we're all your pals, too? Well, that's just the bee's knees!
LEON: Man...It's so weird that we were raised to condemn the Witches,
and now we're all friends here, huh?
ALPH: We've been hearing that the Witches are evil for our whole lives,
but there aren't any Witches like that here.
NIKOLAI: Indeed! You're supposed to love Witches! Ahhh! I can't decide
which one of you to hug first!
MEL: You don't need to hug any of us, you big goofus!
POLLON: Koo! Sorry for the wait! The Draconic Necklace is complete, ya?
Sage Payan: I knew you could do it quickly. Let me take a look at
it...Hmm, it looks very nice, yes. I think that you are
better than I am at imbuing items.
POLLON: Of course not, Master. I'm still in training, ya?
Sage Payan: Here you go, my boy. Put this on, yes. That should take
care of the curse.
THEO: Okay!
MEL: Problem solved!
Sage Payan: You have all had a rough day. Go back to the Village and
rest, yes. It's been a while since I was in the
village...Perhaps I should go as well. Hey, Pollon. Come
with me, please.
POLLON: Yes, Master.
MEL: Yay! I get to be all huggy-huggy with Pa-Pa!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
CLAIRE: Please make yourselves at home.
VIVI: Meh, I'm gonna take a nap...
MEL: Huggy huggy bo-buggy...
Sage Payan: Heh heh...You are such a spoiled child, Mel, yes.
CLAIRE: Please, our guests...Make yourselves comfortable.
NIKOLAI: Yes! Thank you very much for your kindness!
Sage Payan: This village has many interesting documents, yes. I am sure
that you should be able to find some useful information.
Perhaps you ought to go find out the truth about this
planet. Oh ho ho! One more thing...I have created this
little device for you to try out, yes. Here, take it. You
will be able to battle with people like yourselves, from
other lands. Perhaps doing so will help you find rare
items, as well, yes. You should try it out. Hoo hoo hoo...

LEON: I'm so tired...I feel like I could sleep forever.
CECILLE: ...
SAKI: Are you all right, Cecille?
CECILLE: Y-Yeah.
LEON: Do you want to go back to the Church?
CECILLE: ...
LEON: I know, it's tough. But rest up. Let's think about this tomorrow.
I'm always here if you want to talk about anything.
CECILLE: Okay.
NIKOLAI: Hold on one moment! I won't let you get away with this, Leon!
LEON: Hey, hey! It's nothing like that!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
ALPH: Lucia.
LUCIA: Hm? Yeah?
ALPH: Thank you for what you've done for Theo.
LUCIA: I just did what anyone would do. It was just common courtesy.
Besides...It was my fault that Theo was cursed.
ALPH: What are you talking about? It was all Vanessa's fault.
LUCIA: Well, Vanessa found out that you were my Rym. And after she
found out, she tried to make you hers. That ended up getting
Theo hurt.
ALPH: I see...I'm still confused, though. What is this Rym thing,
anyway? Can you tell me now?
LUCIA: A Rym is...a dragon that is stronger than the gods. When the
hearts of a dragon and Witch become one, it becomes a Rym.
ALPH: So let me get this straight...First off, I'm not human, I'm a
dragon. Or a dragon-man. Or something.
LUCIA: Yes.
ALPH: And you and I...We're a Witch and a dragon, right?
LUCIA: Yes.
ALPH: S-So, what's the part about putting our hearts together mean...?
LUCIA: ...Well, you have to think about me, and I have to think about
you...
ALPH: ...
LUCIA: ...
ALPH: Wow, how can you say something that cheesy with a straight face?
LUCIA: Hey! Y-You asked me, so I explained it for you.
ALPH: ...
LUCIA: ...
ALPH: B-But, why do you and Vanessa...Why do you need a Rym?
LUCIA: ...To defeat your god.
ALPH: What?
LUCIA: Your god is about to wake from its slumber. When it awakens, it
will consume the planet...And it's up to the Witches to stop
your god from doing that.
ALPH: Wait, you're saying...God's going to eat the planet!?
LUCIA: Let's talk about that tomorrow. I'm really tired.
ALPH: ...Right, I'm tired too. Well then, good night.
LUCIA: Good night.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
THEO: Good morning, Big Brother.
ALPH: Good morning. Hey, how's your arm doing?
THEO: It's all back to normal now! It doesn't hurt, either.
ALPH: I see. I'm glad to hear it.
THEO: But there's more! I can bring out the dragon's power at will now!
ALPH: What!? A-Are you okay with doing that!?
THEO: Ehehe! Cool, huh!?
ALPH: Uh...yeah. That's good for you, Theo!
THEO: Yep!
{Theo is now a Rym Guardian!}
POLLON: You guys are the dragon brothers, ya?
ALPH: Hey, Mr. Manatee. I'm Alph, and he's Theo. Don't call us 'dragon
brothers."
POLLON: I'm sorry, ya. Could you not call me "Mr. Manatee"? My name is
Pollon-Pollon, ya.
ALPH: Oh, okay. Sorry about that. Nice to meet you, Pollon.
POLLON: Same to you, Alph, Theo.
NIKOLAI: Good morning, Alph, Theo, and the Sage's student. Could you
guys help me out? Where can I find the library that the Great
Sage talked about last night? I want to learn everything I can
about my lovely Witches. So I'd like to take a look at it.
POLLON: The library is over there, ya. A little while ago, the
priestess and the spiky-headed man went there, too.
ALPH: Cecille and Leon?
NIKOLAI: Wh-Wh-Whaaaaat!? (runs off)
THEO: Wow, that was fast...He's already gone.
ALPH: *sigh*
THEO: Hey, let's go to the library, too.
ALPH: Yeah. I wanna find out more about what Lucia was talking about
yesterday. I could probably find out more in the Library.
THEO: Let's go, brother.

| ACTION >>> LUCIA |
X=====================================================================X
ALPH: It looks like all you Witches seem to have something on your
minds.
LUCIA: Well, we have to save the planet. So, yeah, we're a bit tense.
ALPH: I wonder how long Vanessa is going to fight by herself...
LUCIA: Vanessa is just doing things her own way. She relies on her own
strength too much, and that makes her aggressive. All we Witches
only really want peace on this planet...We have lived quietly in
this forest for a very long time. But now that your god's power
is building up once again, we can't just hide here in our forest
and hope that nothing happens.
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> LEON |
X=====================================================================X
ALPH: Oh? It's Leon and Cecille.
LEON: Hey, Cecille, are you all right? Ever since we entered this
forest, you've...
CECILLE: Thank you for worrying about me, Leon. I...I don't know. What
if the Witches are not inherently evil...? Is everything we
were taught a lie...? The Church's teachings...Justice,
blessings...Are they all just stories designed to cloud our
minds so we can't see the truth?
LEON: Cecille...
CECILLE: I'm a little confused right now, but I think I'll find my
answer soon. So, can you just give me a little more time to
think?
LEON: Yeah, as you wish...But if you're having trouble...Don't hesitate
to talk to me. Because, I...You know...I...
NIKOLAI: Cecille, my love! If you have anything to say, please say it
to me!
LEON: N-Nikolai...
NIKOLAI: Leon! I cannot allow you to monopolize all of lovely Cecille's
time!
LEON: I-I was just worried about her and...
NIKOLAI: No! I will never allow it! Never!
CECILLE: He, you guys...
ALPH: Nikolai! Claire was looking for you.
NIKOLAI: The beautiful Claire!? If a lovely Witch calls out to Nikolai,
I will follow her to the ends of the world! (goes off)
LEON: *sigh*
ALPH: Nikolai's imagination is...going a little too far.
CECILLE: Yeah...*giggle*
APLH: Cecille, you'd rather have some peace and quiet, right?
LEON: We won't bother you anymore. Take your time.
CECILLE: Thanks, you two.

ALICE: We-We're in danger! Help!
THEO: What's going on?
ALICE: Vanessa is trying to take the Nature Lapistier!
ALPH: What!?
ALICE: Right now, Lady Claire is doing her best to stop her! Please,
help!
ALPH: I'm on it!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
VANESSA: Claire, give me the Nature Lapistier.
CLAIRE: No.
VANESSA: I don't want to do anything we'll both regret. Just give it to
me.
CLAIRE: just what do you want with the Nature Lapistier?
VANESSA: I'm going to stop humans from doing stupid things.
CLAIRE: Stupid things?
VANESSA: I'm sure you already know, Claire. The humans are attempting a
ridiculous plot at the Jeidath Research Center!
CLAIRE: ...
VANESSA: If we don't stop them now, it will only cause us trouble later
on. With the Fire, Wind, and Nature Lapistier, I'll destroy
the place!
CLAIRE: Vanessa, you're going about this the wrong way.
VANESSA: Ha! If we did things the way you suggest, it'll be too late
for us! The god is waking up faster than you think, Claire!
CLAIRE: R-Really? Do you really think we will be too late for the
awakening?
VANESSA: You're hopeless, Claire, just hand over the Nature Lapistier!
CLAIRE: The Lapistier...Vanessa...
ALPH: Hold it!
LUCIA: Don't listen to her, Lady Claire!
VANESSA: Tch...
MEL: Are you all right, Lady Claire!?
MAVI: Have you no sense of shame, coming after the village's
Lapistier!?
VANESSA: Hmph, I'm way outnumbered. There's too many of you. I'll give
up on the Nature Lapistier. I'll do it with the two that I
already have! (warp)
ALPH: No! She left!
Sage Payan: What happened? Did I miss anything?
CLAIER: Master Pa-Pa. Vanessa came for the Nature Lapistier...Should I
have given her the Lapistier...? I've made another
mistake...*mumble* *mumble*...
Sage Payan: No, you didn't, Claire. We should not be giving any more
strength to Vanessa.
CLAIRE: Is that so? Really?
MEL: Why did Vanessa come to steal the Nature Lapistier, Claire?
CLAIRE: She said she was going to destroy the Research Center at
Jeidath.
ALPH: Jeidath?
NIKOLAI: Jeidath is where the Church has been experimenting with Rune,
along with alchemy and other things.
SAKI: They are known for their work in creating new medicines...
CECILLE: Why would she want to destroy a place like that?
CLAIER: I feel a strange energy coming from that area...A very strong,
evil energy...A feeling of dark power...
NIKOLAI: Please, hold on! There are over a thousand people working at
that facility! If we don't stop my lovely Vanessa, those
people will be in danger!
ALPH: Let's get to Jeidath and stop Vanessa!
LUCIA: Let's go!
Sage Payan: Hold on! Pollon, come over here, yes.
POLLON: Yes, Master.
Sage Payan: I would like you to accompany them. Go forth, my student,
and learn the truth, yes!
POLLON: Understood. Everyone, I'm pleased to meet you, ya.
THEO: Yay! A new friend! Nice to meet you too, Pollon!
ALPH: All right, let's go to Jeidath!

LEON: What the...This place is a mess.
NIKOLAI: It seems that we are a bit late.
Researcher: H-Help me...A-A light appeared suddenly...It just...
destroyed everything...W-Water...Please...
LUCIA: I can't believe she really did this!
MEL: There she is!
VANESSA: ...
ALPH: Vanessa! You'll pay for what you did today!
CECILLE: You killed these innocent people!
NIKOLAI: Even if you are one of my lovely Witches, this is horrible!
VANESSA: No, I didn't...
LEON: Shut up! No mercy!
VANESSA: Wait, this wasn't me. This is...
ALPH: I'm putting an end to this!

It's unforgivable! Prepare yourself, Vanessa!

======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
VANESS: What...? The Wind Lapistier has calmed down...This energy must
be...Is the Thunder Lapistier nearby? (spark [warp])
KINGSTON: *cough* *cough* You have given us a great deal of trouble
here.
???: [Iris] FORGIVE ME. I HAVE FAILED TO CONTROL MY POWER.
KINGSTON: Is it not that easy to forgive, Iris.. [either one too many
periods or one too few] You have destroyed an important
facility. Well...The whole facility WAS for you, so...Now
that we are done here, I suppose we have no more use for this
facility. But, if you didn't have your barrier, you would
have killed me as well.
VANESSAL You...Kingston!
KINGSTON: Hm? ...Aah! You're that Witch of Immolation! And you're with
those traitorous Garden Children! What is going on here!?
LEON: We'd like to ask you the same thing! While you're at it, tell us
who that little girl next to you is!
NIKOLAI: Hm...I have the strongest urge to go hug her right now. I
wonder why...?
KINGSTON: Ahaha...! How entertaining! God must be telling me to cleanse
the world of those who disobey Him! Very well. I shall
introduce you. Meet the Steel Witch, Iris!
LUCIA: "Steel Witch"?
KINGSTON: Yes. Iris is a man-made Witch created through the power of
Rune. She is the result of all the effort that the Round
Table Council has done!
NIKOLAI: Steel Witch? What heresy! I am a little curious, though...
VANESSA: Steel Witch, S Witch What can an artificial Witch do!?
KINGSTON: Hmhmhm...Don't underestimate her power, or you will suffer.
Iris, exterminate everyone here!
IRIS: DOES THAT INCLUDE YOU?
KINGSTON: Wh-What!? Of course not!
Researcher: Ugh...It's her...She destroyed the facility...
IRIS: EXTERMINATE! (slice)
Researcher: Waaah! (crash)
CECILLE: No!
MEL: The was Rune?
MAVI: What!? It can use Rune!?
KINGSTON: Even though she was created by man, she is a Witch, and
Witches use Rune.
VANESSA: I see. So she couldn't control her Rune power, huh? And that's
what destroyed this place.
KINGSTON: Indeed. She couldn't control the power of the Lapistier.
LUCIA: What? Lapistier? What do you mean?
KINGSTON: Oh, silly me. My tongue slipped. To tell you the truth...The
Thunder Lapistier is in place of her heart.
SAKI: Thunder Lapistier...? Why does the Church possess that
Lapistier!?
KINGSTON: Hm, I wonder why?
SAKI: The Church...Did you come to my village...? Did you...!?
KINGSTON: That's enough talk. Iris! Finish them!
IRIS: I WILL OBEY!
VANESSA: Don't think that you can defeat me, you fake!
IRIS: TARGET ACQUIRED: WITCH OF IMMOLATION. DIE! (beep) *doot doot
dodoodooooo* *doot doo doo dodoodooo!*
LUCIA: What? She's playing a song?
THEO: There are monsters gathering around her!
VANESSA: She can use monsters?
MEL: Vanessa, let's settle our score later. Help us trash this tin can!
VANESSA: ...Fine! Just this once, though!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
KINGSTON: I see you children are no strangers to combat. Iris! Activate
your Hyper Mode!
IRIS: HYPER MODE INITIATED.
KINGSTON: Exterminate all of the witches, Garden Children, and any
surviving researchers who are still here! Oh...Keep
protecting me with your barrier, of course!

THEO: Where are we?
VANESSA: We are near the town of Madrasta. Mel and I teleported us
here.
LEOn: We jumped al the way to the next town over, huh?
LUCIA: Thanks for you help, Vanessa and Mel.
VANESSA: I couldn't have just watched you guys burn.
ALPH: I have to thank you, too. ...Thank you.
VANESSA: Oh? Were you guys there, too? I didn't notice. Well then, I've
got my own stuff to do. See ya! (warp)
LUCIA: Wait! Vanessa!
VIVI: Aww...She's already gone...
MEL: Vanessa...She's acting cocky, but she really...
LUCIA: Vanessa...
SAKI: I would classify that Steel Witch as a major threat.
LEON: Even Vanessa ran away from her...
ALPH: They were seriously trying to kill us! I guess that means we're
no longer welcome in the Church.
CECILLE: I can't believe the Church created such an abomination...
MEL: You have to keep your eyes open to see the truth, missy.
CECILLE: I can't even close my eyes to pray?
MEL: If you have your eyes open, you can see what's happening in front
of you.
ALPH: You're not alone, Cecille. We won't let what we see scare us!
...Probably.
CECILLE: Alph...
THEO: Hey, it seems like something's going on in the town.

X=====================================================================X
Civilian [1]: Did you see that flash of light!? The entire town was
destroyed instantly!
Civilian [2]: I'm sure that light was caused by a Witch's magic.
Scary...
Civilian [1]: This town will probably be next. I'd better start
running!
Civilian [2]: No matter where you try to escape to, the Witches will
eventually get us!
LEON: Everyone seems to be in a panic.
THEO: They're all afraid of the Witches.
ALPH: Of course they are...The facility at Jeidath was blown up!
LUCIA: That was the Steel Witch, though. It wasn't us.
POLLON: Koo...There's no point in trying to convince them of that.
SAKI: I wonder why the Church created the Steel Witch...
NIKOLAI: I suspect that they're trying to fight fire with fire.
ALPH: So you think that they created the Steel Witch to defeat the
other Witches?
NIKOLAI: Indeed. But I must stress that I was just using a figure of
speech. I'm not saying that all my beloved Witches use fire...
MEL: Hmmm...He seems to know his onions. They must have learned their
lesson when they sent that whole group of knights up against
Vanessa.
LEON: You think the Church is that desperate to get rid of the Witches?
MEL: I figure they don't want us trying to keep their god from waking
up. And they don't even know that it's connected to the end of
humanity...
ALPH: That battle with the Steel Witch was tough...Let's take a break.
THEO: I wanna eat a big egg frittata.
LEON: I wouldn't mind checking out some of the "local scenery." *wink*

MAVI: How arrogant can humans be!? Did they really think that they
could control that much power?
MEL: I can't forgive'em for fooling' with the Thunder Lapistier like
that!
CECILLE: I can't understand how that kind of person can believe in
God's justice...The Steel Witch...Kingston...is playing with
innocent lives.
LEON: The Grand Cardinal's behind this, I'm sure. I wonder what his
goal is...You'd think he has enough power. I mean, he leads the
Church and everything
LUCIA: Well, he's obviously after more power than he can get by leading
a religion. He also doesn't seem to have a problem with
sacrificing the people who serve the Church.

SAKI: The Thunder Lapistier...My clan...Everyone...
CECILLE: Saki?
SAKI: I've told you that I was from the Shadow Clan, correct? And
now...I'm the only surviving member of my clan. The Thunder
Lapistier belonged to the Shadow Clan.
THEO: What!? Are you saying that...
SAKI: The Shadow Clan was slaughtered and the Thunder Lapistier was
stolen. Kingston had the Thunder Lapistier! He was the one that
stole it!
NIKOLAI: Kingston stole the Thunder Lapistier...So that's the reason
why the Shadow Clan was destroyed...
SAKI: I've been tricked by the Church for my entire life! *grunt* I'm a
fool...How can I trust my intel?
ALPH: Saki...Don't be so angry with yourself...
SAKI: I was working for my enemy! What would I say to my clan if they
were alive...?
LUCIA: Yeah. I think they'd be angry, too.
ALPH: Lucia! You didn't have to say that!
LUCIA: But they wouldn't be angry with you, Saki. They'd be angry with
the Church that had you believing their lies all this time.
SAKI: !
LUCIA: I'm sure of it. Don't hate yourself over this.
SAKI: ...I see. Thank you. I know what I must do now. I'm the only one
left who can guide the anger of my dead clan now...

Civilian [1]: Hey, everyone! The Crow Knights have come!
Civilian [2]: The Arc Knight Heath is with them!
Civilian [1]: Now this town will be safe!
Civilian [3]: Three cheers for Sir Heath!
ALPH: What? Sir Heath?
THEO: Oh, it's him! Brother! It's Sir Heath!
LEON: Hey, let's go say hello.
CECILLE: Wait! We've been branded traitors.
SAKI: If we are captured, we will likely be executed.
ALPH: ...I'm sure Sir Heath will believe us...But, there are too many
people there now. Let's wait until he's alone.
Civilian [3]: Sir Heath!
Civilian [1]: Hooray! Hooray!
HEATH: Everyone, please calm down. We have come to investigate the
reason behind Jeidath's destruction.
Civilian [3]: Witches did that, right?
HEATH: I am here to determine that for myself.
Civilian [3]: Will this town be safe?
HEATH: Yes. The Crow Knights will protect the people of this town.
Please, pay no heed to any rumors that are being spread...about
Jeidath and Witches. The Witches want us to panic and act out of
fear.
Civilian [3]: If you say so, Sir Heath...
Civilian [1]: Back to work, everybody!
Civilian [2]: Please, Sir Heath! Bring peace back to our town!
Knight: Sir Heath, we are prepared to leave.
HEATH: Allow everyone to take a small rest. After that, we will leave
for Jeidath.
Knight: Yes, Sir! (runs off)
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
ALPH: Sir Heath!
THEO: Sir Heath?
HEATH: Hm? You...! What do you want, traitors?
ALPH: !
HEATH: You have ignored your mission and have allowed yourself to be
charmed by the Witches you were sent to condemn. You have also
attacked Sir Andre.
ALPH: No! We weren't charmed! Lucia and the other Witches helped Theo!
HEATH: Did you ask the Witches to help you, knowing that they were
against our God?
LEON: Wait, Sir Heath! The Church was going to use Theo as an
experiment. Are you saying we should still have faith in the
Church after that?
HEATH: ...
NIKOLAI: Sir, are you aware of what the Church did to the town of
Jeidath?
LUCIA: The Church created the Steel Witch in Jeidath.
HEATH: A "Steel Witch"?
LUCIA: Jeidath was leveled because the Steel Witch lost control.
NIKOLAI: These lovely Witches would never do such things. They are all
kind people.
HEATH: Then how do you explain the actions of the Witch of Immolation?
She single-handedly wiped out the Eurus Knights.
MEL: I apologize for that Vanessa has done. But Witches are not the
enemies of humanity. In fact, we've been helping--
HEATH: I will not fall for your blasphemous words! I have seen many
people who have suffered from the Witches! I will never forgive
the Witches for what they have done! I swear to God that I will
see all Witches punished for their crimes!
ALPH: Sir Heath! The Witches aren't our enemies!
HEATH: Silence, Alph. Not another word. Are you going to say that the
enemy is the Church? Or God Himself, perhaps?
ALPH: What?
HEATH: Do you expect me to listen to this nonsense? I see that you have
become too close to the Witches. You are no longer my students!
I will punish you with my own hands!
ALPH: Sir Heath! You would actually fight against us!?
HEATH: Silence, Alph. I'm tired of hearing your protests.
ALPH: Then I will fight you!
THEO: Brother!
LEON: Alph!
ALPH: Everyone, step aside.
HEATH: I am the Cleansing Flame. I will not be defeated by a traitor.
ALPH: If I win...Please, just listen to us!
HEATH: ...This is it, Alph!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
ALPH: Sir Heath! God is going to destroy the planet, not save it! We
are supposed to prevent God from waking up!
HEATH: So what?
ALPH: Huh?
HEATH: Even if that were true, it doesn't matter to me. I have o doubt
that the Witches are evil beings. The Witches still cause
innocent people suffering. It is my duty, my mission, and my
wish to purge them from this world!
ALPH: Sir Heath...
KINGSTON: That was quite entertaining.
ALPH: !
HEATH: Cardinal Kingston!
KINGSTON: I have always enjoyed seeing a student pit himself against
his master.
ALPH: Kingston!
KINGSTON: I had thought that you were obliterated in Iris's attack, but
you've run here. I suppose I shouldn't underestimate you
people. Iris! Do not fail me this time!
IRIS: I WILL SUCCEED.
ALPH: That's the Steel Witch!
HEATH: Steel Witch? Her...?
KINGSTON: Now, Iris! Destroy them all!
IRIS: I OBEY. ACTIVATING CANNON MODE...
HEATH: Iris...! Is that you, Iris!?
IRIS: ! ...SIR HEATH! ERROR. ERROR. ERROR IN EMOTION CHIP...ATTACK
SUBROUTINE ABORTED. ATTACK FAILED.
KINGSTON: I see that we couldn't completely erase her memory...
IRIS: ERROR. ERROR.
KINGSTON: Tch, you useless Scrap Witch! Oh, well. I have ordered the
Crow Knights to this town in case something like this
occured. [spelled wrong in the game, supposed to be
'occurred']
MEL: What!?
VIVI: Oh, looky...We're surrounded...
KINGSTON: Now, Heath! Command your soldiers! Order them to capture the
Witches and the traitors!
HEATH: ...
MAVI: Do it, if you've got the stones! The Nature Witch will not fall
to you puny humans!
VIVI: No, Mavi...If you fight with your full power, you could easily
destroy this town.
LUCIA: No! Don't do it!
MAVI: But...
KINGSTON: What are you doing, Heat!?
HEATH: ...
KINGSTON: Hmph. Never mind, then. I will do it! Knights who serve the
Light of God! Capture these traitors!
Knights: Yes, Your Holiness! Come one, men, we've gotta catch them all!
[Pokemon reference?] Yeaaaah!
POLLON: Koo! They're going to get us, ya!
LUCIA: Mel! Can you warp us out of here?
MEL: I can't teleport this many people by myself...[
MAVI: Then I'll have to...!
LUCIA: No!
LEON: Then what choice do we have!?
Knights: (flash) Argh! (attack) Nooo! Wh-Who the hell...!?
LEON: Hey, the enemy squad has split up!
SAKI: They're fighting each other?
VIVI: There's some guy running over here, and he's attacking the
knights...
???: [Kai] ...
LEON: Wh-Who the hell are you?
MEL: Whoaaa! It's a samurai!
???: [Kai] ...I shall help you in the name of justice. Follow me.
LEON: Wha?
THEO: What did he mean?
MEL: Let's just trust him for now! 23 skiddoo, folks!
ALPH: Everyone, run!
KINGSTON: Argh! What are you doing!? Don't let them get away! You...You
bumbling fools!
JOHANNES: It seems like they used our superior numbers against us...
KINGSTON: Y-Your Holiness...I'm sorry we performed so miserably.
JOHANNES: Dragons and Witches who seek to darken God's blessed
light...The holy day when I will give my body to God is
drawing near. Make no mistake about that, Cardinal
Kingston...
KINGSTON: Yes, Your Holiness!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

THEO: That was a surprise!
CECILLE: Are you all okay?
LUCIA: Yeah...
NIKOLAI: I will endeavor to save my lovely Witches with every ounce of
my being!
VIVI: Ahahahaha...There's no need for that.
POLLON: *huff* I've never run this far...*puff* all at once
before...ya...
LEON: Man, I still can't believe you can run at all with those legs of
yours.
ALPH: Thank you. You saved us all.

X=====================================================================X
LEON: W-We should be fine for now, right?
NIKOLAI: I suggest that we should stop for a rest. I'm very tired...
KAI: Yes.
THEO: Is Sir Heath after us, too...?
ALPH: ...Probably. He wouldn't listen to what we had to say. For Sir
Heath, Witches are the enemy, and always will be...I'm not his
student anymore...Damn it!
THEO: Big Brother...
ALPH: I'm sorry, Theo...I just want to be alone for now.
LEON: Hey, Alph!
CECILLE: This must be tough for Alph.
NIKOLAI: He looked up to Sir Heath so strongly...
LUCIA: ...
THEO: Lucia? Where are you going?
CECILLE: Theo, come back here.
THEO: Huh? Why?
CECILLE: Let's leave them alone for now.
THEO: Okay...
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
SAKI: I wish I had more information...
NIKOLAI: About what?
SAKI: The Steel Witch. She seemed surprised when she saw Sir Heath.
NIKOLAI: I noticed that. Curious...When she saw Sir Heath, the Steel
Witch stopped attacking. Sir Heath seemed to be surprised when
he saw the Steel Witch, as well.
LEON: What do you think that all meant?
SAKI: If I knew that, I wouldn't be wishing for more information.
KAI: ...
LEON: Hey, guys. Don't tell Alph about this, all right? I don't want
him to have another thing to worry about.
CECILLE: You're right...
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
ALPH: Sir Heath...Why wouldn't you listen to me? I thought you
would...*sob*
LUCIA: Are you upset that Sir Heath abandoned you?
ALPH: L-Lucia! I told you to leave me alone.
LUCIA: Are you crying, Alph?
ALPH: N-No!
LUCIA: Let me ask you one question, then. Didn't you just tell Sir
Heath that "God" is the one he should be fighting?
ALPH: Yeah...I'm right, aren't I?
LUCIA: When did you decide that?
ALPH: Huh?
LUCIA: We've come together because of all that's happened to us, but I
never heard you say that you were going to fight your god before
today.
ALPH: C-Can't you figure that out for yourself? If I hadn't made that
decision, I wouldn't be working with you Witches. Besides, I'm
your Rym, right?
LUCIA: Then stop whining about Sir Heath. He is serving the god you are
now fighting. That makes him our enemy.
ALPH: !
LUCIA: Think about it. What if Sir Heath finds us again? Are you going
to run away, or stand an fight?
ALPH: I-I...
LUCIA: What if one of us tries to kill Sir Heath?
ALPH: I won't let that happen!
LUCIA: Then, what if Sir Heath tries to kill one of us?
ALPH: ...
LUCIA: *sigh* Never mind. You're in no shape to fight with us. You
can't be my Rym if you can't let go of some things in order to
protect this world.
ALPH: ...Sir Heath was more than my teacher. I looked up to him. He was
like a brother. I don't want him to be...to be my enemy!
LUCIA: Then I guess I can't depend on you anymore. I thought you were
the one I could count on...But apparently I was wrong. Goodbye,
you crybaby.
ALPH: Hey, Lucia! Wait! Where are you going!?
X=====================================================================X

X=====================================================================X
THEO: Sir Heath didn't listen to us...
ALPH: Yeah...
LEON: I thought he'd understand...that we were doing what we did to
protect you, Theo.
NIKOLAI: Indeed...But why does Sir Heath hate my lovely Witches with
such passion?
CECILLE: Perhaps he has a personal reason to dislike Witches so
badly...
SAKI: Not even I know everything about Sir Heath's past.
ALPH: But Sit Heath was the one who taught us the importance of
protecting each other.

X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> NIKOLAI |
X=====================================================================X
ALPH: Do you think we're being hunted because of what the Church says?
...Because they say that the Witches are evil?
NIKOLAI: I believe that the Church is pursuing both the Witches and the
Lapistier. Regardless of the truth, as long as they continue
their facade of punishing evil, they will have the public's
support.
THEO: Is the Church trying to use us? We've believed in the Church all
this time...Was it all a lie?
LEON: But what about the Steel Witch?
CECILLE: Creating life in a laboratory disrupts the natural flow of
life...Is Kingston trying to play god?
NIKOLAI: He reveres God...Yet, he wants to be God's equal. It just
doesn't make sense.
ALPH: But not everything the Church taught us was wrong, though...I
believe in...protecting what's important to me.
KAI: ...If battle cannot be avoided, the one with the weaker heart will
always lose. IF you want to be truly strong, you must believe in
yourself.

| DIALOGUE >>> PRE-BATTLE |
X=====================================================================X
ALPH: Stupid Lucia...Running off by herself...
ANDRE: Ahahaha! I've finally caught up to you, you traitors! I swear
upon my abs, pecs, and delts that I will capture you all! (stat
raising sound)
LEON: Tch! More Church troops...
SAKI: How unfortunate that we should encounter him.
ANDRE: Beware this famous sword I hold in my right hand! The Regulus
Heart! Only the leader of the Zephyroth Knights can use this
edge! I shall put this awesome blade to use by punishing the
traitors!
LEON: ...Hey, Mister Flexo...Why is that sword still in its scabbard?
ANDRE: Grrr! Sut up! It's stuck in the sheath! ...Argh, I remember the
previous leader using it, though...
NIKOLAI: Perhaps the sword has rusted into its scabbard?
LEON: You can't even take care of your weapon, and you call yourself a
knight?
KAI: That is deplorable.
ANDRE: Cram it, you stupid snots! With my ultimate physique, I don't
even need a weapon to smash you! (stat-raising sound) I'll pound
you all flat without breaking a sweat!
LEON: Then you didn't need to steal that sword, you idiot.
ANDRE: Idiot!? Disrespectful twerp! I suppose that when the master is a
fool, his students will also be fools!
ALPH: What!?
ANDRE: Let me tell you something. You teacher, Heath, was demoted from
his role as one of Johannes's guards! He was made the leader of
some remote army, and now he's not even that! And it's all
because of you, you traitors! This is what he deserves!
ALPH: Because of us, Sir Heath was...?
ANDRE: If I had been demoted so shamefully, I couldn't go out without
hiding my face! But your precious Arc Knight heath is alive,
clinging to his former title! What a pathetic loser!
ALPH: You son of a...! Don't talk about Sir Heath like that!
ANDRE: Shut up! Prepare yourself, punks! I'll show you the strength
of...Andre's Crow Knight Super Brigade! Kill these kids!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
ANDRE: Argh! You brats! You're betraying God's will! But God's sword is
justice! God will punish you with his might!
LEON: A sword isn't meant to hurt people! It's used to protect them!
ANDRE: Hmm? I've heard that phrase before...Oh, the previous leader of
the Zephyroth Knights used to say that! That fool who was happy
to be called the "Lion King"!
LEON: (light bulb goes off) "L-Lion King"?
ANDRE: He was so conceited, just because he was the leader! I decided I
had to punish him myself instead of waiting for God to do it!
I'm a much better leader than he ever was! Wahahaa! Oh, that was
fun! Hahaha!
LEON: What did you just say? You "punished..." the Lion King?
ANDRE: Yes. When the pirates came in and tried to plunder the Church, I
killed him as he fought the pirates and threw the lot of them in
the ocean. And now I am the leader of the Zephyroth Knights!
Wahahahaha! Wahaha...Ow!...I'm hurt from this battle...I'll let
you live this time...Again!
LEON: Hold it, Andre! You won't get away from me that easily!
ALPH: Leon!
LEON: Sorry, Alph. We're gonna have to part ways for now.
ALPH: Huh?
LEON: The "Lion King" that Metalhead [anyone play Jak & Daxter?] killed
was my father.
ALPH: What!?
LEON: I have to avenge him! I will never forgive Andre! Now that I know
the truth, I have to go after him. I'll be back after I take him
down. Later, guys!
ALPH: Leon!
CECILLE: Wait, Leon! You can't...
LEON: ...I'm sorry, Cecille. I'll see you in my dreams.
CECILLE: N-No...

ALPH: Leon...If you are not here...what can I...?
SAKI: He seemed very determined...
NIKOLAI: My lovely Cecille tried to stop him, but even that didn't
work.
CECILLE: ...
MEL: If he can get revenge on that screwy torpedo, he'll come back.
THEO: Yeah, Big Brother. Let's believe in Leon!
NIKOLAI: Leon has his own goals. We have our own things to take care
of, too.
ALPH: Our own things...?
NIKOLAI: Aren't we going to try to stop god with the lovely Witches?
You told Sir Heath that, at least.
ALPH: That's because I thought he would join us to help the world...But
Sir Heath didn't want to understand our situation...I...I don't
want to fight Sir Heath!
THEO: Alph...
MAVI: I see. So this is why Lucia left. You wimp.
ALPH: What?
MAVI: I understand that you respect Heath. I also understand that you
feel like Heath has abandoned you. But you are forgetting
something more important than that.
ALPH: More important...?
NIKOLAI: She's correct, Alph...Who have you sworn to protect?
ALPH: The planet...
NIKOLAI: The whole planet? Anyone in particular?
ALPH: ...Lucia.
NIKOLAI: See? You do remember.
ALPH: But, Sir Heath...
NIKOLAI: *sigh* This is going to be tough...
CECILLE: He, what would Sir Heath say to you if he was here right now?
ALPH: What?
CECILLE: He'd probably say something like "I'll pound some sense into
your head."
ALPH: ...
THEO: Listen, Alph. Sir Heath always taught us that it's very important
that a knight cannot run away from those he has sworn to protect.
Isn't that right?
ALPH: Theo...I'm a failure of a big brother for being lectured by my
kid bro...heh. Thank you, everyone. My mind's made up. I will
keep fighting! Even if Sir Heath stands in our way! That's what
Sir heath has taught us to do!

MEL: Waaaaaaah! This is so touching!
KAI: ...Indeed.
MAVI: A Rym, huh...
CECILLE: Those two are a good match.
THEO: Yup!
SAKI: This battle has just begun.
CECILLE: Don't say that, Saki!
ALPH: By the way, Lady Claire, about this stone...
CLAIRE: I was wondering about that light that it emitted...It must be
the Light Lapistier.
ALPH: Light Lapistier!?
CLAIRE: The lost Light Lapistier was shattered into two pieces. And you
two brothers were holding onto them this whole
time...This...this must be destiny.
ALPH: Lucia, you should hold onto this. Your magical power will be
stronger if you keep it with you.
LUCIA: Nah, you keep it. It's the proof of your brotherhood with Theo,
right?
ALPH: ...Thank you. I'll keep it, then.
LUCIA: Good.
CLAIRE: We'll be hunted down by the Church if we stay here. Let's
return to the Witch Village.
MEL: That's a good idea! Come with us, Kai.
KAI: I'm grateful.
MEL: Hey, you two! Stop making eyes at each other and skedaddle!
ALPH: W-We're coming!
MEL: By the way, Claire?
CLAIRE: Yes?
MEL: Is Mother Lapis still in Lethe Forest?
CLAIRE: Yes, she's still protected by the barrier surrounding Lethe
Forest.
CECILLE: Lethe Forest...
LUCIA: What's the matter, Cecille?
CECILLE: Hm? Uh...I was nervous about going there...I don't really know
why...
SAKI: Cecille...
MEL: We should move Mother Lapis to the Witch Village. It's too
dangerous to leave her in the Lethe Forest.
CLAIRE: I agree.
MEL: All right-a-roonie! Let's vamoose to the Lethe Forest!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
KINGSTON: I can't believe Iris was defeated. I underestimated the
Witches...Wake up, Iris. I know you have enough energy to
come back to me.
IRIS: OF COURSE. I CANNOT DIE.
KINGSTON: As long as you keep the Thunder Lapistier within you body,
yes...Now, hurry up and repair the damage you have taken.
There are still many tasks I need you to accomplish
IRIS: THOSE WITCHES...I WILL EXTERMINATE THEM ALL!

HUGO: So, this is the entrance to the Lethe Forest. Those abominable
Witches live in the village beyond this forest!
???: [Priel] I'm SO not digging this place's vibe. It's, like, totally
filthy.
HUGO: Then why did you follow us, Miss Priel? You can leave if you
wish.
PRIEL: Don't be such a whiner, Hugo.
HUGO: Guards! Ready Hugo's Ultimate Barrier Remover!
Soldier: Yes, Sir!
PRIEL: What's that?
HUGO: It's the latest weapon invented by the Round Table Council. We
can easily destroy the barrier around the Lethe Forest with this.
PRIEL: I see.
HUGO: Ready! Aim! Fire! (fire)
Soldier: Sir, it's no use! The cannon's beam is being deflected!
HUGO: Fire it again! (fire)
Soldier: Sir! There's absolutely no damage!
HUGO: *sob* I spent so much of my research budget on this...
PRIEL: Ahahaha! How pathetic!
HUGO: This isn't funny! Now we can't get into the Witch Village.
PRIEL: This dinky little barriers' the only thing in your way, right?
Piece of cake! Ta-daaa! (flash)
HUGO: What?
Soldier: S-Sir Hugo! The barrier disappeared!
HUGO: R-Really?
PRIEL: Come on, let's go!
HUGO: I-Indeed, you are an angel. I'm impressed, Miss Priel!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
CLAIRE: Ahh...
NIKOLAI: Lady Claire! What's the matter? Are you okay!?
CLAIRE: The barrier around the Lethe Forest has been destroyed...
MEL: What in tarnation!? No who the dickens coulda done that?
VIVI: I smell an unpleasant Church member...And something else smells
nasty, too...
MAVI: The barrier was removed! Mother Lapis is in danger!
MEL: Let's make tracks, everyone!
???: [Vanessa] Wait a minute! (warp)
LUCIA: Vanessa!
VANESSA: The barrier seems to have been destroyed. Claire! Why did you
leave the village!?
CLAIRE: B-Because I was worried about...Lucia and her Rym being
separated...
VANESSA: No, I mean why did you leave the village UNATTENDED, you
idiot!? Now the village and Mother Lapis are in danger!
CLAIRE: I'm sorry. I'm such an idiot...*sob* *sob*
MEL: Vanessa! This ain't time to play the blame game with Claire!
Hurry! You've gotta come with us!
VANESSA: Hmph, fine.

ALICE: Some strange men went by!
THERESE: Waaah!

ALICE: *sniff* They were heading towards Mother Lapis.
CLAIRE: Oh, no...
VANESSA: I told you!
CLAIRE: It's all my fault...!It's because I left the village. Ahh, what
should I do...? *sob* *snivel* *sob*
MEL: Save it for later! We need to get to Mother Lapis toot sweet!
ALPH: Where is Mother Lapis?
LUCIA: She's deep in the forest! This way!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> LUCIA |
X=====================================================================X
ALPH: What is Mother Lapis, anyway?
LUCIA: Haven't you read the books in the village library? There should
be a book in there that talks about Mother Lapis. I guess I'll
just go ahead and tell you. Mother Lapis is a matriarchal spirit
for all us Witches. She is the only thing that can purify this
planet.
ALPH: So what if she was destroyed...?
LUCIA: Then, if the planet gets hurt, it wouldn't be able to heal
itself anymore. Mother Lapis is essential to the planet's
survival. Rune, the life force of the planet, can't harm Mother
Lapis. If there's anything that an destroy her, then it would
have to be...Your former god. His power is not from this planet,
so he's the only thing. Nothing the Church makes will ever be
able to destroy Mother Lapis, since everything they make is
powered by Rune. So, in theory that means that she should be
completely safe from harm. But still, something doesn't feel
right...
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> VANESSA |
X=====================================================================X
KAI: ...
VANESSA: I heard that you're a survivor from the Eurus Knights.
KAI: ...Indeed.
VANESSA: I assume that you've got on hell of a grudge against me. Do
you want revenge?
KAI: ...I will seek vengeance for the deaths of my compatriots...But
not from you. It will come from the Round Table Council and its
leaders.
ALPH: So are you saying the Lapistier went out of control...because of
the Round Table Council!?
VANESSA: That's right. Because I was there, I was able to minimize the
damage. I was the one who kept the Lapistier from going out of
control.
ALPH: So that was what happened...
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> CLAIRE |
X=====================================================================X
CLAIRE: Oh no! The barrier that the last dragon created has been
destroyed...After the ancient battle of Aldheld, the last
dragon left the barrier here before he died...
POLLON: I can't believe that the ancient barrier was destroyed so
easily, koo...
CLAIRE: I'm surprised too...I sense that someone with a terrible power
is in this area. *sob* Last dragon, I'm sorry...I'm sorry I
couldn't protect what you left for us...

ALPH: There they are!
CECILLE: That's Provost Hugo!
THEO: He looks like he's arguing with some girl...
ALPH: Who's that girl?
LUCIA: She doesn't look like the Steel Witch.
NIKOLAI: She's a mystery woman...I don't think she's connected with the
Church.
HUGO: Please don't, Miss Priel!
PRIEL: Why not? Let's break this stupid ol' rock to little bitty bits!
HUGO: We must bring the Mother Lapis back to the Church!
PRIEL: You're gonna break it later, right? Why not just Kaboom it,
like, right now?
HUGO: We have to do research on it!
PRIEL: I was born to see to Master God's rebirth. I want to see that
happen, like, as soon as possible! And I like, totally, don't
like that rock!
HUGO: Don't be selfish, Miss Priel!
ALPH: Stop right there!
HUGO: You...!
PRIEL: Now's my chance! KABOOM! (flash) Teehee, there we go. All
broken.
HUGO: No...You...You didn't! You DID! You broke it! Awwww...His
Eminence is going to be upset with me...He'll cut my salary...
LUCIA: Sh-She just destroyed Mother Lapis...
MAVI: N-Not even my fist can do anything to the Lapistier...
CECILLE: Uhh! My...head! The pain...! (crash)
SAKI: Cecille!? What's the matter?
MEL: Wh-Who's that ditzy dame with the wings?
PRIEL: Oh, do you mean me? I'm an angel, Priel. I'm Master God's
number-one fan!
VANNESSA: [spelled wrong in the game, one too many 'N'] Angel?
PRIEL: Master God has, like, commanded me to destroy the Witch Village.
HUGO: But we were commanded to TAKE the Mother Lapis!
PRIEL: Really? I don't remember that part at all.
HUGO: *sigh* I can't believe God's subordinate would be this dense...
PRIEL: Ooh? I heard that...Do you have a death wish?
HUGO: N-No! Of course not, Miss Priel!
PRIEL: A-hahahaha! You were about to soak your shorts, weren't you?
HUGO: Tch...
LUCIA: This idiot is an angel?
PRIEL: By the way, Hugo, who are these people?
HUGO: That's right! These are the ones who oppose God! Witches and
their companions!
PRIEL: So they're Master God's enemies? That's, like, sooooo not cool.
NIKOLAI: What a bimbo...She's the complete opposite of my beautiful
Witches.
PRIEL: I totally don't remember anyone asking for your opinion.
CECILLE: Ahhh (flash)...My head is burning...
SAKI: Cecille!
LUCIA: Cecille?
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

CECILLE: (Who...are you?)

including you.)
CECILLE: (I-I'm not a Witch!)
MOTHER LAPIS: (Search your memory. Recall your true strength.)
CECILLE: (What?)
MOTHER LAPIS: (The angel has shattered me. I do not have much power
left...But, I will use that little strength I have to
awaken the power within you. You have the strength...The
strength to protect those close to you. Awaken now, my
precious child.)

one who leads destiny!

LUCIA: Cecille is...the Twilight Witch?

CECILLE: Oh, it's you, Provost Hugo.
HUGO: C-Cecille! What's happened to you!?
CECILLE: I am a Witch. The Twilight Witch, Cecille!
HUGO: Th-That can't be!
CECILLE: I remember you treated me VERY WELL when I was a priestess.

CLAIRE: Hey, Vanessa!
VIVI: Vanessa's goooooone.
ALPH: How could something like THAT be an angel?
POLLON: Koo, koo. I was thinking the same thing, Alph. I'm surprised,
ya.
MEL: I'm more surprised that Cecille's a Witch!
LUCIA: So, what exactly happened, Cecille?
CECILLE: The remnants of Mother Lapis's power spoke to me. At that
point, my memory and my powers returned.
NIKOLAI: Lady Cecille was a Witch! Oh! This must be a miracle, caused
by my love! That must be it!
CECILLE: Not even close! (slap)
NIKOLAI: Ahh! Double the pain, double the pleasure! (crash)
LUCIA: I'm pretty shocked that Cecille is a Witch, too.
CECILLE: I sealed my power and memory of being the Twilight Witch
within myself. I did this to prepare myself to fight God, and
to meet Alph and the others.
CLAIRE: The Twilight Witch governs darkness. Darkness controls destiny
...Twilight Witch, Cecille. You left us so suddenly! But, I am
glad you have returned to us.
CECILLE: Me too, Lady Claire.
VIVI: Hey, loooook...Look at where Mother Lapis Waaaas. There's
something shiiiiiny. Shiny, shiny. (flash)
CLAIRE: That's...The Dark Lapistier!
MAVI: Did Mother Lapis leave that!?
CECILLE: I gave it to Mother Lapis before I left the village. Because I
had always planned to return here. But things didn't turn out
the way I had planned...
NIKOLAI: How so, Lady Cecille?
CLAIRE: Let's talk about that later. We must go to the Ancient Ruins at
once.
LUCIA: Ancient Ruins?
CECILLE: The power sealing God away has weakened now that Mother Lapis
is gone. We have little time! Follow me, everyone. Let's go to
the Ancient Ruins.
CLAIRE: Cecille...You know something that I don't! It's in the memories
you just recovered!
CECILLE: Yes. Let's go!

| LIFE OF KOPIN |
X=====================================================================X
KOPIN: I've been having headaches recently, so I went to the town
hospital. During my diagnostic evaluation, the doctor let out a
tiny scream. I waited for the results. The doctor's report
said...
X=====================================================================X
| 19 ALTAR OF SOULS >>> PRE-ACTION 019 |
X=====================================================================X
CECILLE: Here we are. This is the Altar of Souls.
CLAIRE: What is this place?
CECILLE: A ritual used to offer souls was performed here.
ALPH: A ritual to..."offer souls"?
CECILLE: Long ago, the Church sacrificed people to their god, Zehaal.
ALPH: Human sacrifices!?
POLLON: Koo, koo! I heard about this from master Payan-Payan! Long ago,
Zehaal's power gained control of this area. This power grew and
took control of the people who led the Church. The Church's new
god directed them to make sacrifices and prepared for his
rebirth by consuming the souls.
CECILLE: But Mother Lapis realized this, and sealed the Altar of Souls.
Mother Lapis halted the sacrifices. Since then, Zehaal has lay
dormant...
ALPH: Hey, Cecille. How do you know something that happened so long
ago?
CECILLE: It's a memory from the Dark Lapistier belonging to the
Twilight Witch.
ALPH: I see...
CECILLE: The seal on the Altar vanished when the angel destroyed Mother
Lapis. If the sacrificing of souls begins once again, we'll
all be in jeopardy. I'll use the Dark Lapistier to seal the
ruins once more. Give me strength, everyone!
MEL: You got I, sister!
LUCIA: We cannot let Zehaal be revived!
CLAIRE: Let's seal this place at once.
CECILLE: I'll begin the sealing, now.
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> MAVI |
X=====================================================================X
MAVI: Just who exactly is that angel...?None of our Runes nor attacks
could leave a single scratch on Mother Lapis. So, how could
she...? What kind of power does she have?
LUCIA: It's power that humans and Witches can't comprehend, one from
beyond the planet. She must be using powers given to her by
Zehaal.
MEL: So she's related to him!?
CLAIRE: The planet's power has weakened now that Mother Lapis is
gone...
VIVI: Uh-oh, so Zehaal's gonna get reborn?
MAVI: We cannot let that happen! No matter what!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> CECILLE |
X=====================================================================X
CECILLE: If the sacrifices in the Altar of Souls begin again...then god
will gain the strength to return to this world.
SAKI: Will destroying the Altar resolve this situation?
CECILLE: No. The Altar itself isn't necessary to perform the ritual.
The land is what is necessary for god to accept the offer. WE
can destroy the altar, but we cannot destroy the land.
SAKI: I see. So that is why you sealed this area. It was the only
possible solution.
CECILLE: But, since the seal has been broken, sacrifices would give him
power again. Many more lives may be lost as sacrifices to god.
We must hurry!

X=====================================================================X
NIKOLAI: Ohhhh! Lady Cecille is sooooooo beautiful!
THEO: Why are you so happy, Nikolai?
NIKOLAI: Because she's a Witch! Somehow, I'd always felt something...
THEO: Those Witches seem to have a spell on you anyway...
POLLON: You know that the power of the Witches is used to protect the
planet, ya?
NIKOLAI: So what you're saying is...Their unavoidable duty to protect
the planet gives them strength!
POLLON: Koooooooo? Well, yes. That's one way to put it, ya.
THEO: I'm surprised that Cecille was a Witch, Alph.
ALPH: Yeah. We lived together in the Ever Garden all this time, and we
never knew.
THEO: But she's still Cecille, right?
ALPH: Of course!
CECILLE: ...? What is it, Alph? Theo?
ALPH: N-Nothing.

THEO: We killed Sir Heath? Nuh-uh!
ALPH: What are you talking about!?
IRIS: HERE IS THE EVIDENCE: VOICE RECORDER, TRACK 2, PLAYING...
Kingston: "Iris is a piece of junk!"
HUGO: "Indeed...The repair costs have been astronomical. My expenses
are skyrocketing!"
KINGSTON: "Please, Hugo. I'm counting on you to keep her in fighting
condition."
HUGO: "May I write the cost up as labor expenses?"
KINGSTON: "Hmm, put it under equipment expenses. We'll save more money
that way."
HUGO: "This is more like a machine than just equipment...There will be
an added excise tax. What should we do?"
KINGSTON: "I'll let you use your best judgement. [spelled wrong in the

HUGO: "Understood. By the way, Your Eminence, your entertainment
expenses seem to be--"
KINGSTON: "Ahaha, oops...Well, uhh...I can explain that..."
ALPH: Wh-What kind of spell was that!?
THEO: That wasn't a spell. It's bookkeeping.
ALPH: How do you know that...? Hey, Steel Witch! What the hell does
that have to do with Sir Heath?
IRIS: ERROR. I PLAYED AN INCORRECT FILE. TRACK 4, PLAYING...
IRIS: "SIR HEATH HAS BEEN EXTERMINATED? THIS CANNOT BE TRUE!"
KINGSTON: "That's right. Heath has been killed by Witches! Umm...Let's
see...Heath asked them to fight him one-on-one, but those
cowardly Witches ganged upon him and beat him to death.
Although he was an Arc Knight, he simply could not face that
many foes at once, and he died of his injuries. It's so
tragic...*sniff*"
IRIS: "I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU, WITCHES!"
KINGSTON: "That's right. Kill all the Witches!"
IRIS: I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU, COWARDS!

off then returns) I have unfortunate news. A large army is
heading this way. Sir Heath is their commander!
ALPH: Seriously!?
IRIS: S-SIR HEATH?
HEATH: Witches! Traitors! Hear my words!
ALPH: Sir Heath!
HEATH: You have been surrounded by five hundred of our troops! There is
no way to escape! Give up peacefully!
ALPH: We'll never give up! We're going to defeat God! And if you try to
stop, we'll defeat you too, Sir Heath!
HEATH: I admire your dedication, Alph. However, you and the Witches
will all die right here!
IRIS: SIR...HEATH...?
HEATH: Iris!? Is that you!?
IRIS: SIR HEATH...? ALIVE? HOW?
HEATH: Wh-What are you talking about, Iris?
PRIEL: Bonjour, boys and girls! How are you doing?
ALPH: It's the angel!
KINGSTON: Witches, traitors, and five hundred fools. I see that Junk
Witch is here as well. I'm pleased to see so many ants here.
HEATH: You Eminence! Why are you here?
KINGSTON: I've come here to watch the sacrifice, of course.
HEATH: Sacrifice!? What do you mean!?
PRIEL: Everyone here will have their souls sacrificed to Master God.
Master God's gonna be so stoked to see those ugly ol' Witches
being sacrificed!
HEATH: Again, what are you talking about?
KINGSTON: Think about it, Heath. All your lives will be offered to God.
You useless idiots can at least die when I ask, yes?
HEATH: Then our orders to defeat the Witches here were...
KINGSTON: It was a ruse, of course. I plan on offering you all to God
as sacrifices. I am surprised that the Witches are actually
here. I have no doubt that God divinely predicted all of
this.
HEATH: You are about to create five hundred victims!?
KINGSTON: Don't be so emotional, Heath. It's only five hundred or so.
HEATH: ...ONLY!?
KINGSTON: Now, let us begin the sacrificial rites!
PRIEL: Arrivederci, losers! 1, 2, Kaboooom!!! (flash)
CECILLE: Watch out, everyone!
IRIS: SIR HEEEEEATH!

PRIEL: It's all you can eat, Master God! Haha!
Poor Soldier: Ahhhhh!! (light attack)
Miserable Soldier: Heeaaaalp!
PRIEL: Let's go back, Kingy.
KINGSTON: Sure. We must prepare the next step. The day of the Holy
Eclipse draws near... (warp)
ALPH: Phew, that was close...
CECILLE: Is everyone okay?
NIKOLAI: Are you all unhurt, my lovely Witches?
LUCIA: We all seem to be fine. Thanks, Cecille.
CECILLE: I was afraid that my protective barrier was too late, but
apparently I was in time.
CLAIRE: Thank you, Cecille.
SAKI: But, look...
ALPH: Five hundred lives were snuffed out in an instant...That's
unforgivable!
MEL: Are we the only ones who survived that 'splosion?
THEO: Look! It's Sir Heath!
ALPH: Is he with...the Steel Witch?
IRIS: SIR HEATH...I AM GLAD...YOU ARE STILL ALIVE...*bxxt* SIR HEATH...
HEATH: You saved my life with your barrier spell, Iris...Thank you,
Iris...
IRIS: ...SIR HEATH...I AM...HAPPY...TOP SEE YOU...AGAIN...
HEATH: Iris, if I had known sooner...you wouldn't be like this...
IRIS: SIR HEATH...*shrk* I LOV...*skzrt* GOOD...B...YE.........
HEATH: Iiiriiisss! (flash)
LUCIA: The Steel Witch...Iris's body...is disappearing...She used the
last of her strength to protect Heath.
(flash)
THEO: Isn't that...the Thunder Lapistier...?
CECILLE: The Lapistier that had been placed inside her...
HEATH: Forgive me, Iris...
ALPH: Umm...Sir Heath...Who was Iris...?
HEATH: I.found her as an orphan. She was a kind girl who loved
flowers...She grew to love me as an older brother...And then the
Church...turned her into that! Damn them!
KAI: Heath...
HEATH: Kai...Thank you for protecting Alph and the others.
KAI: Think nothing of it. I was just doing my friend a favor.
NIKOLAI: A favor? What do you mean?
HEATH: I asked Kai to look after you.
ALPH: You asked him to protect us? I thought you were on the Church's
side, Sir Heath?
HEATH: I was suspicious of Kingston's odd actions when I worked for
him. I began to investigate Kingston in secret. I believe that
he sensed my distrust, so he decided to keep you away from me in
order to keep you on his side. But you seem to have figured out
the truth on your own. I wanted to join you so that we could
fight together. However, I had to stay within the Church so I
could reveal Kingston's deception. That is why I asked my old
friend Kai to protect you all.
THEO: So you were just pretending to hate us in Madrasta?
HEATH: That's correct.
THEO: Wow! I was completely fooled!
HEATH: I apologize for that.
ALPH: I-I knew Sir Heath was on our side this whole time!
LUCIA: Really? Because I seem to remember a certain someone crying over
Sir Heath...
ALPH: Sh-Shut up!
MEL: But, Kai-Banzai-san, how'd you manage to find us?
LUCIA: She's right. We had been in the Witch Village for a while.
KAI: ...I was heading to Jeidath. I heard that the Witches had appeared
there. I was on my way there. It was only luck that I found you in
Madrasta.
HEATH: Oh, really? I thought you had been following them ever since I
left their group...
KAI: I apologize.
CECILLE: ...Then it was fate that led to us meeting in Madrasta.
NIKOLAI: So Sir heath, what is Kingston planning to do?
HEATH: He plans to reawaken god.
ALPH: !
CECILLE: I thought so...
HEATH: At first, he was simply controlling the Round Table Council and
ordering them to conduct research on the Lapistier and Rune
energy. But his actions began to grow more and more
disturbing...He made Iris into the Steel Witch...And now he's
just sacrificed hundreds of my men just to feed god's hunger!
This cannot be forgiven!
ALPH: So are you going to join us, Sir Heath?
HEATH: Yes, Alph. I will. For Iris's sake, and for those of my loyal
troops, I will defeat Kingston! I will stop god's revival...Stop
it before the Holy Eclipse arrives.
ALPH: Yeah!
THEO: Yipeee!
KAI: Then, I will take my leave.
HEATH: Kai, wait! This isn't going to be easy. I need your help.
KAI: They have you here now. I doubt you will need my help. Farewell.
MEL: Sir Kai-san! Pleeeeeze, don't go! Waaaaah!
MAVI: Hey! How can you make a young girl cry like this? You're a
terrible man!
KAI: ...
THEO: Come on, Mr. Kai!
KAI: B-But...
HEATH: Kai! Come with us.
KAI: ...!
HEATH: ...!
{Heath and Kai learned "Holy Knights" Synergy!}
ALPH: What should we do now, Sir Heath?
HEATH: Let us proceed to the Holy Capital. They are preparing for the
Holy Eclipse.
ALPH: All right, let's go to San Riese [spelled wrong in the game,
supposed to be [Reise]!

| LIFE OF KOPIN |

vacation. The blazing sun and the sound of rolling waves help me
unwind.
X=====================================================================X
| 20 LION'S PRIDE >>>PRE-ACTION 020 |
X=====================================================================X
HEATH: There's a gate up ahead on the coast, leading to San Reise. We
must pass through the gate in order to get to the Holy Capital.
NIKOLAI: Is the sea route still closed down?
HEATH: Yes. If we approach the Holy Capital by boat, the Crow Knights
will sink us. In addition, very few people will be allowed to
enter the Holy Capital at the moment, on Kingston's orders. I
assume that the preparations for the Holy Eclipse are proceeding
smoothly.
ALPH: We have to stop them right now!
HEATH: Wait. The gate to the Holy Capital will be guarded by the Crow
Knights. We should prepare ourselves first.
VIVI: Heeeeey, I smell blood and sweat coming from that direction. I
think some people might be fighting over theeeerrrre.
HEATH: What?
VIVI: Over thereeeee.
ALPH: Let's go and check!

X=====================================================================X
KAI: ...Alph. Did you tell Heath what you had to say to him?
ALPH: Wha?
KAI: You appeared to be depressed after you fought him.
ALPH: Um...Well...
HEATH: I had no choice but to fight you in Madrasta. It was not my
intention to hurt you. I'm sorry.
ALPH: We're all fine now. Thanks a lot for asking Sir Kai to look after
us, Sir Heath.
THEO: Phew...I'm relieved now. I knew Sir Heath was never wrong, right,
Alph?
ALPH: Of course. I believe in Sir Heath, because he was the one who
taught us the importance of protecting those who are close to us!
HEATH: Heh...
KAI: ...Hmm. You have good students, Heath.
HEATH: Indeed.
LUCIA: You lead a charmed life, Alph.
ALPH: Hmm?
LUCIA: No one you believe in has ever betrayed you. It's not often that
a person can claim that. You should be very happy.
ALPH: Yeah, you're right.
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> VIVI |
X=====================================================================X
VIVI: You knoooow, I hate what that stooooopid angel smells like.
SAKI: Smells like?
VIVI: I remember smelling something like that before. Ooooooh! I
remember now! She smelled like a mooooonster.
THEO: So you think the angel's a monster?
LUCIA: The angel was created by the god, Zehaal, to serve him, right?
MAVI: Hmm. Are you saying that the monsters were also created by the
god?
LUCIA: !
MAVI: So Zehaal created the monsters all around the world so he could
hunt us Witches down?
LUCIA: And human lives were being sacrificed, giving him even more
power...
CLAIRE: Hmm...I was thinking about that before...
MAVI: Lady Claire...
CECILLE: Even if the angel is a monster, her power is much greater than
any ordinary creature. Her power would be similar to the
god's.
POLLON: I can sense Zehaal's power somewhere nearby, ya...
CECILLE: I have a bad feeling about this...
LUCIA: Let's head to the Holy Capital at once!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> HEATH |
X=====================================================================X
HEATH: We'd usually be able to take a boat across the ocean to san
Riese [spelled wrong in the game, supposed to be 'Reise'].
However, after the Witches appeared, ships are prohibited from
entering it. Only a few people are allowed to enter the Holy
Capital through the gates.
ALPH: So if we can use that gate...
HEATH: We can use the gate, but it will be well-guarded. A battle will
be unavoidable. Are you ready, Alph?
ALPH: Of course, Sir Heath!
HEATH: Then, let's go.

| DIALOGUE >>> PRE-BATTLE |
X=====================================================================X
LEON: Andre! I'll make the world a better place by cutting you out of
it!
ANDRE: You stubborn brat! I was ordered here by His Eminence Himself
for this important duty. I am the keeper of the gates that lead
to the Holy Capital of San Reise. And the first foe I face is a
weakling like you!?
LEON: Gate keeper? You're nothing but a guard dog.
ANDRE: Why you...! You're calling me, the leader of the Zephyroth
Knights, a dog!? Leon! Get ready to die a painful and
humiliating death.
LEON: Hmph! You're just a coward who can't do anything on your own. You
don't deserve to be anyone's leader.
ANDRE: That's it, punk! I, Andre, the surpreme [spelled wrong in the
game, supposed to be 'supreme'] commander of the Zephyroth
Knights, shall strike you down by my own hand!
LEON: Andre, you killed my father! Prepare to die!
ALPH: Leon!
LEON: Alph! Everyone!
HEATH: You take care of Andre, Leon. Let us handle the rest.
LEON: Sir Heath!
ANDRE: Ha1 I knew you'd betray us eventually, Arc Knight!
HEATH: I can't be a part of the Church's evil deeds. I will fight
against the Church, under the flag of justice!
ANDRE: You're a fool! Justice lies with God! Our god, Zehaal, who will
be reincarnated very soon!
CECILLE: It's as I thought...The god will be reborn soon.
ANDRE: You people are like insects compared to God...And God has no
time to waste on puny bugs like you! I'll crush you all with my
Regulus Heart!
LEON: *sigh* Why do you bother fighting with a sword that's stuck in
its scabbard!?
ANDRE: Rrrrr!! You'll pay for mocking me! Come! Crow Knights!
Blackstars, to me!
Soldiers: Yessir!
ANDRE: The Blackstars are the best of the best of the Crow Knight
ranks. All of them have a thirst for blood that would put the
most feral beast to shame. When they're through with you, there
will be nothing left but your screams. Attack!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
ANDRE: Gwaah! How dare you...You traitors...!
LEON: Don't lecture me, you hypocrite! You betrayed my father!
ANDRE: Hmph...That's tru-*cough* I guess I've lost. E-Even if I die
now, the ritual to revive God has...begun already...You cannot
stop it... (crash)
THEO: Nice job, Leon.
LEON: ...Father, I have avenged you.
ALPH: It's finally over, Leon.
LEON: Yeah...I know. Thanks, guys.
HEATH: That was splendid, Leon.
LEON: Thank you very much, Sir Heath. I'm kind of surprised to see you
here with Alph, though...
HEATH: I had to split up from you so that I could investigate the
Church myself.
CECILLE: Leon, I'm glad you're fine.
LEON: Wha? Is that you, Cecille?
CECILLE: Y-Yeah...!
LEON: Wow, you look so different...What happened?
CECILLE: I'm a Witch.
LEON: Wh-What!?
CECILLE: It's a long story. Are you surprised?
LEON: O-Of course! I didn't know you were a Witch! But...You're still,
you know...YOU, right, Cecille?
CECILLE: Yes. Just with some new powers.
LEON: Well, okay then. That's cool with me.
CECILLE: Thank you, and welcome back, Leon.
LEON: Heh, it's good to be back, Cecille!
NIKOLAI: NOW JUST A SECOND HERE! That's close enough, you two! Break it
up!
LEON: You got something to say?
NIKOLAI: What? What?
{Learned a new Synergy: "Rival Strike!"}
HEATH: By the way, Leon, you should hold onto the Regulus Heart. Keep
it as a memento of your father.
LEON: The famous sword...Regulus Heart...!! (flash)
THEO: Wow! The sword came out of the scabbard! It isn't rusty at all!
MAVI: That keen edge, without the slightest blemish...It's beautiful.
ALPH: Why couldn't Andre pull the sword out of the scabbard?
KAI: The sword has chosen Leon to be its wielder.
LEON: M-Me...!?
HEATH: You father, the Lion King, has given you the strength to use the
blade.
LEON: I see. Father...Thank you...
{Leon is now a "Sword Master!"}
ALPH: Sir Heath, the gate is now unguarded. Let's hurry to San Reise!

X=====================================================================X
HEATH: This is the center of the Luminous faith: The Holy Capital, San
Reise.
ALPH: So this is where they're planning on reviving the god?
HEATH: That's correct.
CECILLE: We're running out of time. Let's hurry. We have to stop the
ritual that brings about the Holy Eclipse at all costs!
POLLON: Koo! Wait a second. I need a little breather, ya...
LEON: There's no time for breaks!
POLLON: Just a short one. Please!
THEO: I'm pretty tired, too. Let's rest up for a second.
LEON: Tsk! Fine!

X=====================================================================X
CECILLE: So were you chasing Andre this whole time, Leon?
Andre: Yeah. But that overmuscled lunkhead always had a huge number of
troops with him. I didn't get a chance to attack him until right
before you showed up. And then...you showed up. But waiting for
the right moment was definitely worth it. Plus, I was able to be
of help to you guys.
CECILLE: I was worried about you.
ALPH: You're always worried, Cecille.
LEON: I thought you might have changed now that you're a Witch...But,
I'm glad to see that you haven't changed a bit. Anyway, now we
fight together again!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> SAKI |
X=====================================================================X
SAKI: I have returned from performing reconnaissance on the area. The
Church seems to be busy preparing for the Holy Eclipse ritual.
HEATH: The preparations for rituals this big are usually done long
beforehand. It's unusual that they're still getting ready at
this hour.
NIKOLAI: It's likely that they decided to rush and get the ritual over
with.
CLAIRE: There is no set date or time that the ritual for the Holy
Eclipse needs to be performed at. The ritual begins once the
requirements for Zehaal's revival are fulfilled.
CECILLE: Mother Lapis was suppressing Zehaal's power, but she is now
destroyed. A great many lives have now been sacrificed for
Zehaal...
LUCIA: Johannes will sacrifice his own body so that Zehaal can re-enter
the world. We must stop their ritual. If Zehaal is revived, the
planet will die!
HEATH: There are many soldiers in the Holy Capital. Be on your guard.
ALPH: Yes, Sir!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> HEATH |
X=====================================================================X
HEATH: The Luminous Church was controlled by Kingston's conspiracy.
LUCIA: What exactly is he planning? He's trying to revive God, but is
he just following God's orders? Knowing Kingston, I don't think
that's what he has in mind...
ALPH: So what does he want? To rule the world?
HEATH: ...Kingston fears death above all else.
LUCIA: So he's going to revive Zehaal, and then ask for eternal life as
a reward?
HEATH: No. He plans to steal Zehaal's power...and become a god himself.
ALPH: Is that even possible!?
HEATH: I cannot say...But he must be confident. He has spent decades
setting this plan into motion. I will not allow his disastrous
plan to come to fruition!

LUCIA: Vanessa!
VANESSA: Bah! I wasted my time on the weaklings. You're here before I
could finish!
CECILLE: We're in a hurry. Let us fight together, Vanessa.
CLAIRE: The seven of us most cooperate if we are going to defeat
Zehaal.
VANESSA: Huh!? So NOW you want to fight together? They wouldn't have
gotten this far if you would have acted earlier, Claire!
CLAIRE: W-Well, you're right, Vanessa...*sniff*
LUCIA: Hey! Don't blame it all on Lady Claire! You just ran off on your
own and caused pointless destruction!
VANESSA: Sh-Shut up! I'm doing my best to stop Zehaal's rebirth!
MEL: Dry up, you two! This is no time to be flappin' yer gums over a
beef!
CECILLE: She's right. Arguing about the past isn't going to solve
anything. We must fight together, to change the future!
CLAIRE: Please, Vanessa!
VANESSA: ...Hmph. We've been fighting for the same thing from the very
beginning.
CLAIRE: ...We were?
VANESSA: I just didn't agree with your methods and did things my own
way. But, we've all just been trying to defeat the god! Don't
you see?
CLAIRE: Vanessa...
Soldier [3]: There they are! Hurry, everyone!
Soldier [4]: Surround them!!

on!

PRIEL: Like, WHOA! You cuties all look so, like, steamed!
KINGSTON: Where the hell are the palace guards!?
JOHANNES: Hello, everyone.

JOHANNES: I'd extend a warm welcome to you all, but, unfortunately, I
do no have the time for that.
PRIEL: Cutie little Johannes here is going to become one with Master
God!
LUCIA: What!?
JOHANNES: Kingston. Deal with them.
KINGSTON: Yes, Your Holiness.
JOHANNES: Good bye, everyone.
ALPH: Wait, Johannes!
KINGSTON: Hold it! Just where do you think you're going!? I have
prepared my latest and greatest weapon in case you
interrupted us. Come!
Rune Weapon: Deedledeedle...Deedeedee...ASSIGN A TARGET FOR
DESTRUCTION.
LEON: What is that!?
KAI: A machine of some kind?
KINGSTON: Hmmhmmhmm...Are you surprised? This Rune Weapon is based on
the knowledge we gained while creating Iris. Take a look.
CLAIRE: That's the Water Lapistier!
KINGSTON: Correct. I'll simply insert this into its body, like so...
Rune Weapon: DeedeeDEDEDE! POWER BOOST INITIATED!
KINGSTON: The power enhancer within it will maximize the Lapistier's
energy! It will not cease its attacks until its targets are
destroyed! You have no chance of surviving this!
A-Hahahahaha!
NIKOLAI: Wh-What a terrible misuse of science...
PRIEL: C'mon, Johannes, cutie! Let's go to the Altar!
JOHANNES: Of course, Lady Angel. Please take me there to become one
with God!
PRIEL: Ooooh, you're soooo cute!
ALPH: I won't let you get away!
KINGSTON: Hello? Killer technomancy over here! You have to fight it
first! Now...Attack!
Rune Weapon: DEEDLEDEE...BEGINNING COMBAT...ASSAULTING.

Rune Weapon: DEEDEEDLE...DESTROY ALL TARGETS!
LUCIA: We don't have time to waste playing with Kingston's new toy!
Let's get rid of this thing quickly!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
KINGSTON: Ugh! Even my Rune Weapon has been defeated!
VANESSA: You thought you could stop us with a mere toy like that?
KINGSTON: Looks like I'd better make my escape...After I reclaim the
Water Lapistier...Now, if you'll excuse me!
ALPH: Stop! Kingston!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
PRIEL: Oh no! You guys totally lost already?
KINGSTON: I am so ashamed.
PRIEL: Hey! Johannes just started to form the cocoon!
ALPH: Cocoon...?
THEO: Look! At the top of the Altar!
ALPH: Th-That's...!
CLAIRE: Zehaal's formed his cocoon!
LUCIA: That's really Johannes...?
PRIEL: He's super cute, huh? With the power of the vessel, he fused His
and Johannes' souls together and turned into a super cute
cocoon. Once the cocoon hatches, Master God will be resurrected!
ALPH: Then, I'm gonna smash it before he emerges!!
PRIEL: You are soooo lame. I'm not gonna let you do that, I mean...Why
do you guys have to come along and kill the mood!? Ooooh! Priel
is like, super mad now!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
PRIEL: Ouuuch! That totally hurts! Like, how could you hurt someone as
pretty as me? You are SO lame! (flash) Oh! Master God's cocoon
is complete! Teehee!
LUCIA: What?
PRIEL: Emergence is the only thing left...I mean! I can't wait to see
Master God! I'm like, soooo excited! Teehehehehe!!! Okay Master
God, time to meet your Number One Fan! Take care, Kingy! I'm
gonna, like, go to the place now.
KINGSTON: What? W-Wait, Priel...Madam.
PRIEL: Adieuuuu! (warp)
KINGSTON: Stop. STOP! Take me with you!
LUCIA: Where is that angel going?
ALPH: What did she mean by "the place?"
KINGSTON: Grrr...You stupid angel! Ridiculing us like that! Now we must
use the ultimate fruit of the Round Table Council's research.
Time to activate the device that will give me control of God.
Then, that angel will be...
HEATH: Kingston! I won't let you run off this time!
KINGSTON: Catch me if you can! Voila! Round Table Flash! (warp)
THEO: He's gone!
LEON: Damn! Where the hell did he go?
CLAIRE: I can feel the fetal god's movement. This is the cocoon we just
saw...It's flying towards the southeast...With tremendous
speed...!
NIKOLAI: Southeast from here would be...Kursegrad Continent! It's an
ancient legendary battlefield, where the Witches fought God.
POLLON: Koo! Kursegrad should hold more power than anywhere else in the
world, ya.
LUCIA: They're trying to revive him at Kursegrad, huh?
HEATH: Kingston is probably headed there too.
ALPH: Let's go after them, Sir Heath!
HEATH: Yes, we must follow them to Kursegrad!

THEO: Alph.
ALPH: What's wrong, Theo?
THEO: Do you think God is strong?
ALPH: Yeah, probably. He is called "God," after all...
THEO: ...
ALPH: ...But, everything I know about God is from the Luminous Verses,
you know? I haven't really seen his strength in person, so I
don't know what to expect. But I'm gonna smash that cocoon before
he gets a chance to try it!
THEO: ...*cough* Mmm...Bwahahahaha!
ALPH: Wh-What's wrong, Theo? I thought I answered you honestly.
THEO: Sorry, sorry...I was just worried for a bit. But you relieved me
with your dramatic speech, there. Thank you, Alph!

KAI: The Council probably knew that many lives would be lost in the
experiment. But, they just deemed them expendable, and greedily
continued.
THEO: We were also taught that Lapistier hold forbidden powers. We were
told to collect the Lapistier because Kingston wanted to acquire
the power, right?

certainly not the kind of power that humans can handle.

NIKOLAI: ...

NIKOLAI: Excuse me? I'm always serious! Forbidden research,
manipulating life...It reminds me of Fareth...My father.
ALPH: Your dad, huh?
NIKOLAI: Father left me alone and went missing.
THEO: Huh!?
LEON: So, when they found your dad, they sent him off to the firing
squad, huh?
ALPH: I heard Fareth was executed...
CECILLE: Nikolai, you've never said anything about it until now...
NIKOLAI: Oh, sorry, Lady Cecille...But this isn't really the sort of
thing I would casually talk about. My father had specialized
in research dealing with the essence of life. He continued his
research at the Round Table Council...Then, he probably came
to a realization during the course of his work. The dangers in
tinkering with life...When the fundamentals of life are
warped, you warp mankind's future itself. No single human
should be able to hold the fate of all humanity in his hand.
That's probably why he had to disappear. In order to keep the
secrets of life he discovered from the Round Table Council.
ALPH: Nikolai...
NIKOLAI: Whoa! Didn't mean to get all gloomy on you guys there. What
I'm trying to say is...that I'm not completely unrelated to

here...

KINGSTON: I don't know. That stupid angel took it somewhere.
VANESSA: What do you mean, you don't know? Tell us before he
resurrects!
LUCIA: This world...This planet's going to be destroyed! Tell us so we
can stop him!
HUGO: If we had this device, then God would have been powerless...
KINGSTON: I was going to take over the world...I would have controlled
God...
LEON: Hey, what are you two old guys muttering about?
KINGSTON: Listen to me! This world belongs to human beings! During the
past thousand years, it was humans who made it flourish! I
don't care whether it's God or Witches, I'm not going to let
them ruin everything we worked for! Human beings will not be
slaves to God!
HUGO: The Round Table Council has been doing research to harness God's
power. God, Witches, and Lapistier! We had thoroughly researched
everything. Then, we finally completed the device we needed to
control God. However...
KINGSTON: That...stupid Angel...Damn it!
NIKOLAI: You...You people were trying to control a god...? Looks like
the Round Table Council was doing some outrageous research.
KAI: ...And you thought nothing of sacrificing the knights for your
research.
HEATH: The Eurus Knights were killed by their experiments on the
Lapistier...!?
KAI: Yes...
VANESSA: ...well, that was also sort of my fault. I apologize.
KAI: No. You have no reason to apologize. If they didn't misuse the
Lapistier...the tragedy would have never come to pass.
LUCIA: These guys are meaningless to us now. We need to focus on our
primary goal. We must stop Zehaal's resurrection.
MEL: Darn skippy! These ragamuffins are old news. Let's go get that
cocoon!
CLAIRE: Oh, actually, there's one last thing. Please wait a moment.
Ummm, Sir Cardinal?

against your god...

fight God.
CLAIRE: What?
KINGSTON: All of you Witches! Hand me all of the Lapistier you have.
Give them to me, every single one!

MAVI: Just as I thought, humans are not strong enough to control the
Lapistier.
HUGO: Gogogg! Magoggghh!
THEO: Whoa, he's coming this way!
KAI: Hugo! I'll make you regret killing those Knights!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
KINGSTON: Hugo...I thought you had complete control over the
Lapistier...How could you lose? How could you lose to those
Witches...
LUCIA: We inherited the power from the planet. We're the only ones that
can use Lapistier! Your research is useless!
KINGSTON: Grr, grrr! You stupid Witches! Ruining my precious dreams!
Always thwarting my schemes! I'll get you all! You're all
dead!
VANESSA: What are you gonna do? Curse us to death? You think YOU can
beat us by yourself, Cardinal Sin?
KINGSTON: G-God will...! Yes, God will smite you all!
VANESSA: Huh?
KINGSTON: I am the Cardinal! The one truly loyal to God! God will
answer his humble servant! He has to! You heathens have
absolutely no chance against God!
NIKOLAI: It's hard to believe he was planning to make a god his slave a
second ago.
MEL: He's probably all discombobulated right now. All his plans have
been foiled.
KAI: Pathetic...
KINGSTON: Hahaha...Wahaha! Round Table Flash! (warp)
ALPH: Whoa!!
VANESSA: Crap! The Water Lapistier!
MEL: Take it easy. We know where His Hoodliness is going. Claire,
where's Zehaal's cocoon?
CLAIRE: I'll lead the way. Let's go, everyone. Toward the ancient
battlefield.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
LUCIA: ...
CLAIRE: Is anything wrong, Lucia?
LUCIA: Oh, Lady Claire.
VIVI: Lucia, are you tired?
LUCIA: What?
CLAIRE: I see...You're worried. Worried about what's going to happen
soon.
LUCIA: ...No, I'm not...
CLAIRE: I don't blame you. You and your Rym are going to be key players
in the battle against the god. But you needn't feel ashamed for
being worried. Everyone else is, too.
CECILLE: The planet will certainly see us through. It'll be okay. You
Rym...Alph will protect you, too.
LUCIA: Thanks, Cecille...
MEL: We just have to snatch the Water Lapistier so we'll have all of
them.
VANESSA: Then, we're all prepared to stop Zehaal!
MEL: Damn skippy! Let's go bump off Kingston and get the Water
Lapistier!
MAVI: Then we'll pound that airheaded angel and that god's cocoon!
VANESSA: Sounds like it's going to be a hot time!
CLAIRE: ...There is one more thing I need to tell all of you.
MAVI: What is it, Lady Claire?
CLAIRE: Since Cecille is back, We're finally here, all seven of us. I'm
going to teach you the greatest secret of the Witches.
VANESSA: The greatest secret? That's a bold claim...
LUCIA: ...Oh!!
VIVI: What in the world are you talking about? This is the first I've
heard about this...
MEL: Claire! Is that...!?
CLAIRE: Yes, the technique we can use only when all seven of us are
here. "Rainbow Magic."
{Learned "Rainbow Array" Synergy.}
CLAIRE: Okay everyone, let's go. To the battlefield...
MEL: Right-o!
LUCIA: Let's do it!

| LIFE OF KOPIN |
X=====================================================================X
KOPIN: After being abandoned by Vanessa, I spent seven days on a the
deserted island. My body returned to normal, but since I had
been abandoned...I had no way to get home...But then, Vivi's
Kopin came to rescue me.
X=====================================================================X
| 23 COCOON OF GOD >>> PRE-ACTION 023 |
X=====================================================================X
CLAIRE: This ancient battlefield...This is where the Witches fought
Zehaal, long ago.
MEL: Even now, we can still feel the energy that Zehaal released when
he was put to sleep here.
CLAIRE: That angel is going to try to use this energy to cause god's
cocoon to hatch in this land.
LUCIA: If we don't do something soon, the cocoon will hatch!
ALPH: Let's hurry up. Kingston must be down there.
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> KAI |
X=====================================================================X
ALPH: Is Kingston trying to use god's power to become a god himself?
KAI: If one seeks power, then becoming a god would be the ultimate
goal. What a helpless man...
LUCIA: Helpless...That's an apt description for his situation. He was
already the most powerful human in the world. There was nothing
else left for him to aspire to.
LEON: But even if you have power, that won't keep you from dying
eventually.
KAI: We will have to stop him, because he cannot stop himself.
HEATH: The entire planet hinges on this battle! We must stop him!
ALPH: ...Yes!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> POLLON |
X=====================================================================X
POLLON: Koo! Zehaal will have to create a cocoon before he can possess
a new body. When I say "possess," I mean he'll need a new body
to put his power into, or else that power will be wasted, ya.
Koo!
CLAIRE: Zehaal is trying to get the energy to hatch the cocoon by
draining it from this land.
LUCIA: Once he revives, then he'll consume the entire planet...
ALPH: I will not let that happen!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> CLAIRE |
X=====================================================================X
CLAIRE: This old battlefield is a place where Zehaal fought the dragon
and Witches. This gigantic crater was created by the shockwaves
created in that battle. And the otherworldly power of Zehaal
scoured all life from the land here, changing it into a barren
wasteland. And yet, a thousand years later, this area is still
desolate. That's because some of his power still remains in
this land.
ALPH: What frightful power...
X=====================================================================X
| DIALOGUE >>> PRE-BATTLE |
X=====================================================================X
KINGSTON: God! Oh magnificent God!
PRIEL: Oh? Like, it's Kingy! What are you doing here? You look so
creepy! Teeheehee!
KINGSTON: Get out of my way! I don't need you! I have come to see God!
PRIEL: Like, what the heck! You're SO annoying! I'm totally cheesed at
you!
KINGSTON: God! Please, send harsh punishment to the Witches who disobey
You...Please, remove them all from this world!
PRIEL: Huh? Like, what are you trying to do?
ALPH: I found you, Kingston!
THEO: That angel's here, too!
LEON: There's the god's cocoon!
KINGSTON: Oh! God! They're here! Please, punish them all! Please, hear
the sincere prayers of your most devout believer...
PRIEL: A-hahaha! Poor widdle Kingy! You like, totally don't get it!
KINGSTON: What?
PRIEL: Like, you humans are just food for Master God!
KINGSTON: Food?
PRIEL: Uh-huh! He eats you, and then it's all over for you! Yum yum
yum!
KINGSTON: What!?
PRIEL: So like, even if you pray to Master God, there's no point, you
know? He's not gonna do anything...except eat you.
KINGSTON: N-No...
PRIEL: Why don't you just kill those dirty Witches by yourself?
KINGSTON: I don't have the power...That's why I'm here, asking for
God's help...
PRIEL: Come on, Kingy, you've got something fun to play with! It's
kinda gross, since it still has the "warmth" from that cutie
Hugo...
KINGSTON: N-No! That's...
PRIEL: Check it out! It's the Water Lapistier! (flash)
KINGSTON: N-Noooo! Don't...No!
PRIEL: You're, like, SO weird, Kingy! Didn't you want power? Here ya
go! Youuuuuuu're welcome~! (flash)
KINGSTON: Aaaah!
LEON: Wh-What!?
LUCIA: The angel just pushed the Water Lapistier into Kingston's chest!
ALPH: Is she trying to make him like Hugo!?
THEO: Oh, no...That's terrible!
PRIEL: Ehehe! Like, that's not enough? Priel power! (magic burst) Woo-
hoo!
KINGSTON: Grraaaaaah! (flash)
LUCIA: Wh-What is this...? The power of the Lapistier is growing...?
KINGSTON: Rrraaaah! N-Now my plan to...to surpass God's power...
Grrr...Rrrr....
PRIEL: It's aaall gone! Poof! Ahahaha!
KINGSTON: Fshhh...Fshhh...THE POWER...FOR GOD! THIS PLANET WILL BE
SACRIFICED FOR HIM!
ALPH: K-Kingston...
CECILLE: No, he's not Kingston any more. Now he is just a puppet, being
controlled by Zehaal!
KINGSTON: Garrrrr!
PRIEL: Hahaha! Show 'em what you've got, Kingy!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
KINGSTON: NO! NOT ENOUGH STRENGTH! GOD! GRANT ME MORE POWER!
PRIEL: Huh? Oh well, I guess Kingy's body couldn't handle the power of
Lapistier. Argh! Kingy! Why couldn't you be a teensy bit more
useful?
KINGSTON: OHH...GOD'S...POWER...Aaaah! (flash -> disappears)
CECILLE: That's the end of Kingston...
HEATH: The end of a man who tried to be a god!...Who abused the
Church's power!
THEO: (flash) But the Lapistier...It's still there.
PRIEL: Aww, phooey. This is soooo boring! Kingy wasn't any help at all,
even after I gave him all that power!
LUCIA: Angel...!
PRIEL: But I guess he did manage to keep you busy! Hey hey, everybody!
Check it out! Master God's gonna hatch!
ALPH: What!?
Cocoon: U...Ur...Uwarr...
ZEHAAL: Uwarrrrrr!
PRIEL: Oooohhh! Isn't Master God's roaring so, like, sexy!?
ZEHAAL: Ohhhhhhhhhh!
ALPH: That's...God!?
PRIEL: Yeppers! He's greater than anything in existence! He will end
this world!
LUCIA: Has the god revived!?
PRIEL: C'mon, Master God! Consume this entire world! Hm? What? What's
wrong? (flash) Noo! Who!? Who's bothering God!? Like, oh my God!
CLAIRE: Is it the power of the planet?
PRIEL: This dinky little planet? Phooey! Planet, I'll teach you a
lesson! (warp)
ZEHAAL: Uarrrrggh!!
PRIEL: There ya go, Master God! Let's go straight to the planet's
heart! Let's make it so that it can't bother us any more! Go,
God! Go, God! It's your birthday!
ALPH: G-God and the angel just disappeared!
LEON: Where did they go!?
CECILLE: She said that they were going to consume the planet's heart...
CLAIRE: The planet's heart...Do you think they really went to the heart
of the planet!? If the center of the planet is consumed, the
world will die! Every living thing on the world will be killed!
ALPH: Let's go after them!
CLAIRE: We have all seven Lapistier. The time to do battle...is now.
LEON: H-How do we get to the center of the planet!?
CLAIRE: A way to the planet's heart...There is a path in the desert.
LUCIA: Then let's go! We have to protect the planet! Our only enemy now
is...
ALPH: Zehaal! The one who started all this!
LUCIA: He's the one that destroyed this world's peace!
ALPH: Let's go, everyone!

| LIFE OF KOPIN |
X=====================================================================X
KOPIN: Today, I talked about the future with Mel's Kopin. I wish I
could spend more time with her, even if only for a little
longer.
X=====================================================================X
| 24 THE PORTAL >>> PRE-ACTION 024 |
X=====================================================================X
ALPH: I had no idea that there a place like this on the world...
THEO: Wow! It's all sand!
LEON: Why is there nothing but sand here?
CLAIRE: Because the portal to the planet's heart is nearby. The
planet's power is waning.
POLLON: That portal is slowly draining the life out of the planet, koo.
Barely anything can grow around here, ya.
LUCIA: So this portal leads to the planet's heart, huh?
ALPH: Let's go! We don't have time to waste!
CECILLE: Wait. I want to tell you something before we go.
LEON: What's wrong?
CECILLE: We will be fighting a god...You will need the ultimate magic:
the "Spear of Dawn."
ALPH: Spear of Dawn...?
CECILLE: It is also known as Over Flash.
THEO: That sounds like a strong name.
CECILLE: Only Lucia, the Dawn Witch, can use this spell.
LUCIA: Only me?
CECILLE: Gather the might of all Witches, and release the power in a
single burst. This is magic that has enough power to surpass
even Zehaal.
CLAIRE: Wait a moment, Cecille. I have read that when the spell of Over
Flash is cast, the Dawn Witch must sacrifice her life, correct?
LUCIA: !
ALPH: Hey! I'm not going to let her use dangerous magic like that! I
won't let that happen!
CECILLE: If you are there with her, then she will be all right, Alph.
ALPH: Huh?
CECILLE: Rym have an ultimate power called "The Eternal Shield." If
Lucia is protected by her Rym's...Alph's power, she will not
die.
ALPH: I-I see...
CECILLE: But Over Flash is to be used only as our last resort! We may
not be forced to use it, but...Just be prepared, Lucia.
Please.
LUCIA: Okay.
LEON: Well, okay then! Let's get going to the center of the planet!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> HEATH |
X=====================================================================X
HEATH: Kingston used to be a very respected individual. But he became
addicted to the power his authority had granted him. He had
enough power to be able to do anything at all. Anything he
desired could be his. ...And where would his desire turn from
there? He was not content with his own power, and so he coveted
the power of god.
KAI: God consumes all. His very existence is hunger. It seems that
Kingston and Zehaal were very much alike in that regard.
HEATH: Desire is part of being human. We all want something...
KAI: I cannot claim to have gone without desires of my own...
HEATH: Perhaps we all consume the world, in our own way...
ALPH: That's not true! Sir Heath and Sir Kai, you two are fighting to
protect the planet! That's completely different from what
Kingston did!
KAI: Hm...
HEATH: We must prove that our only desires are for peace.
ALPH: Yes!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> GARDEN CHILDREN |
X=====================================================================X
LEON: The portal of the world...We can get to the heart from there,
huh?
THEO: This is really strange. We're going to go really deep
underground, right?
POLLON: The heart of the world...You humans call it the Holy Land
Canal. It's linked to this continent, ya. It's the very center
of the planet.
SAKI: The Church says that god came here 1000 years ago and gave wisdom
to the saints.
THEO: The saints were the Luminous, and that was how the Luminous
Church began. But, I think everything would have been better if
god never came to this world. Then the planet would've been
peaceful, right?
LUCIA: Well, we Witches were created by the planet because that god
came...
ALPH: The Luminous Church founded the Garden, and that's why we're all
together!
CECILLE: We were meant to be standing in this place. Right here, right
now.
NIKOLAI: I will not let any god destroy us. It is by his actions that
we are here, but I cannot allow him to take it all away.
LEON: I don't need any futures that include the end of the world! We'll
have to fight for a better tomorrow! One we make ourselves!
SAKI: We cannot change history, but we have the right to change the
future.
ALPH: The future...That's what we're all fighting for!
X=====================================================================X
| ACTION >>> WITCHES |
X=====================================================================X
CLAIRE: The being that came to this planet 1000 years ago is the one to
destroy it now. This "god" has no real consciousness of its
own. It is driven to consume. All it knows is desire, hunger,
and greed. We, the Witches who survived that ancient battle
long ago, slept for a millennium within Mother Lapis.
MEL: And when god's revival was predicted, Momma Lapis started makin'
new Witches and wakin' up all of us who were catchin' some super-
Zs.
CLAIRE: The humans must have been terrified to be shut into this
world's darkness...Only putting faith in a god gave them the
strength to continue.
VANESSA: But when the humans prayed to god, it only made Zehaal
stronger, right?
MAVI: Even if we manage to kill the god, if this world gets taken by
the darkness again, the humans might just eek his guidance once
more...
VIVI: Weeeeeellllll...If that's the way it is, Then isn't anything we
do kinda pointless?
LUCIA: ...I will believe in the humans. And because I believe in them,
I cannot allow darkness to swallow the world! We don't know what
they'll do with the future, but they deserve to have one.
CLAIRE: ...You're right, Lucia. The angel is ahead of us. IF we kill
Zehaal, then the monsters that were created on this planet may
vanish along with him.
CECILLE: ...If that happens, do you think the humans will stop hating
us?
CLAIRE: I cannot be sure. But, I hope that Witches and humans can learn
to live together on this world.
LUCIA: Yes. But for now, we must fight to protect the planet...and
everyone on it!
X=====================================================================X
| DIALOGUE >>> PRE-BATTLE |
X=====================================================================X
PRIEL: Yippie! I found you all! HEEEEY, YOU GUYS! So, like, just WHERE
to you think you're going?
ALPH: The angel! You're still here?
LUCIA: Get out of our way!
PRIEL: No way, Jose! I'm not gonna let you waltz in on Master God!
'Cuz, y'know...This is an exclusive party! Reserved so He can go
and eat the heart of the planet that's been bugging Him!
LEON: Sorry, missy, but I'm crashing this little engagement. We'll
defeat god and save this planet! He'll have to go hungry!
PRIEL: Teehee! You are such losers! You humans were, like, CREATED by
Master God. Didn't you know that? So, like, going against Him?
Duh! That makes you, like, SO rude.
NIKOLAI: Even if he did create us, we can't allow him to simply pop out
of nowhere after a thousand years and eat every living thing
in the world! We just can't let that happen! We have the right
to fight for our own lives, too!
PRIEL: Uh-doy! You guys, are, like, SO sweetdiculously stupid! Rights?
Like, you don't deserve anything! Do, like, insects get to vote?
NO. There's nothing in the universe that belongs to you! All you
guys are are li'l snackies for Master God when he gets the
munchies. You're just gonna get eaten up by Master God, along
with the planet. I mean, weren't you all living happily because
of Master God? Don't start making sad faces now! Mater God'll
make all your worries disappear, forever! Teehee!
CLAIRE: I will not let that happen! Nothing will come out the way you
plan!
LEON: Then what about you? God's just gonna eat you too, right?
PRIEL: Teehee! BUZZZ! Wrong, Mister! Nope! I'm special! After He, like,
eats you and the planet up, --yum yum yum-me and Master God are
gonna live together forever! (sigh) I'll be Him and me, just the
two of us, happily ever after! An' I'll be, like, "Oh, Master
God! Ohmigod! I'm like, SO happy!" You know what that means...I
can't let you past here! Never!
LEON: I don't give a crap about your honeymoon plans! We're busting
through!
ALPH: We are going to defeat Zehaal!
PRIEL: Like, OH. MY. GOD. NOBODY ruins my honeymoon plans! So,
uh...Prepare to, like, die!
======================= <<< BATTLE >>> ====================
PRIEL: Nooo! Master God, please help! My powers are, like, fading! I
need a pick-me-up! Hey, Master God!? Pretty please!? Wha!? I'm
just gonna get eaten, too? No, Mater God...It can't
be...Whyyyyy!? I love Master God SOOOO much, but you're still
doing this to Priel? No! Don't eat pretty pretty Priel!! God,
don't eat meeeeeee! Nooooooo!
LUCIA: The angel's disappearing!
PRIEL: No...Master God! I don't want to disappear...!Waaaaaaa.........
(flash -> disappears)
LUCIA: So Zehaal consumes everything...Even that angel he created
himself. He's really just going to consume everything, isn't he?
ALPH: I'm not gonna let that happen! We will defeat Zehaal!
LEON: Defeat a god, huh? That's a pretty tall order. But the stronger
the enemy is, the more pumped I get! Hoo-rah!
SAKI: We must not fail. We're the only ones who can stop the world's
destruction!
NIKOLAI: I will go anywhere and do anything for my lovely Witches! I'll
go against fire, water, or the power of god himself!
HEATH: If we don't fight, darkness will swallow the world. I wield my
spear for peace!
VIVI: All we can do now is fight...Meh...
MEL: Spare the rod, spoil the god! Heh heh heh!
CLAIRE: Planet, please lead us...
MAVI: I will not forgive anyone who hurts this planet! Not even a god!
VANESSA: Huh! For once, we actually have the same opinion on something!
MAVI: I'll deal with you myself one day, Vanessa...But we need you now!
VANESSA: Ha! I'll be looking forward to that day!
MAVI: But, now...!
VANESSA: Yeah, yeah, I know! Let's do this.
THEO: Hey, aren't you guys scared? We're fighting a god! You know...
GOD!
KAI: ...Don't be frightened. Believe in yourself and in your friends.
ALPH: Theo. I'm with you! And everyone here is with us, together! If we
put our wills together, no enemy can defeat us!
CECILLE: A priestess who once served under god is now walking the path
of Twilight Witch. Fate is definitely on our side!
POLLON: Feelings, fate, bonds...A great jewel created from the pressure
of our struggles and determination...And now, it eminates
[spelled wrong in the game, supposed o be 'emanates'] great
power. It is time to wield it, ya!
LUCIA: Now we will strike to reclaim the peace that Zehaal has stolen
from this world!
ALPH: Yeah, that's why we're here! The final battle for peace!
X=====================================================================X
| LIFE OF KOPIN |
X=====================================================================X
KOPIN: This world is such a beautiful place. Even if the world should
happen to end tomorrow, I'd like to sit here and just stare at
the setting sun. That is a skill fit for me, the ultimate
monster.
X=====================================================================X
| 25 THE LIGHT 025 |
X=====================================================================X
LUCIA: The portal to the heart of the planet...I didn't expect it to be
a place like this.
ALPH: So, the god we used to worship lies just ahead of us...
THEO: Can we really beat a god?
VANESSA: Listen up, kid. There's not a lot of choices here. Either we
win, or everyone and everything dies.
MAVI: That's right. We need to completely obliterate Zehaal's soul this
time.
THEO: ...Oh...kay?
CECILLE: Ridding this world of god's spirit will not be an easy task.
We may have to use Lucia's new power...
ALPH: Over Flash...
LUCIA: I'm ready, if it comes to that.
ALPH: I'm gonna protect you, Lucia, no matter what!
CLAIRE: The Witches, dragons, and humans have all come together. We
also have all the Lapistier. Even though we have all this going
for us, defeating god will definitely not be an easy task.
However, this is certainly our one and only chance we'll have
to defeat him. Everyone...We must take back our planet, so
nobody will ever live in fear of Zehaal again!
ALPH: So this is it, huh?
LUCIA: Yes. We're on the verge of finally reversing the "destruction"
that this planet embraced a thousand years ago.
ALPH: Hey, Lucia. What do you think will happen to this world after
this battle?
LUCIA: Why are you asking a question like that at a time like this?
ALPH: I was just thinking...
LUCIA: Defeating Zehaal is our foremost priority right now, right?
ALPH: Well, of course, but...
LUCIA: So why dream about the future? IF we don't focus, we won't have
a future.
ALPH: Yeah, you're right...
LUCIA: Well, since you brought it up...What do you think will happen,
Alph?
ALPH: Huh? You really want to know? Well, the Cardinal, Grand Cardinal,
and the Provost are all dead, right? And we're about to get rid
of the so-called god...So it will probably throw the Luminous
Church and its followers into chaos.
LUCIA: Okay...
ALPH: So, uh, maybe it won't matter what anyone is...Witch, dragon, or
human...Doesn't that sound like it would be a really fun place to
live?
LUCIA: ...Yeah, I guess. It might be pretty nice if we could all
coexist together...
ALPH: See? I knew it! You agree with me, don't you?
LUCIA: Yes...I agree with you.
ALPH: See, now we have to win! We have to make that future a reality!
LUCIA: Yeah, I'm with you...Hey, Alph. I can fight because of you.
ALPH: Because of me? What are you talking about? You don't need me. You
were strong ever since the day we first met. Man, you even saved
my life.
LUCIA: ...
ALPH: What's up, Lucia? You're pretty quiet, even for you.
LUCIA: Um. Hey, Alph, will you make me a promise? You have to swear to
keep it...Swear that you will protect this planet, no matter
what happens.
ALPH: Of course! I swear it! I'll protect this planet, and you, no
matter what!
LUCIA: ...Thank you, Alph. Come on, let's do this, Alph!
ALPH: Yeah!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
ZEHAAL: The beating heart of the world...I've waited a thousand years.
I have come to bring it all to an end!
ALPH: Hold it right there, "God"!
ZEHAAL: After all this time...A dragon has come to resist me again.
VANESSA: This battle has dragged on long enough. Let's end this,
already!
ZEHAAL: You wretched Witches, rending my soul to pieces a thousand
years ago.
CLAIRE: We're going to end it all, right here, right now! We should
have destroyed you completely in that battle...
MEL: You're a bad seed, Zehaal! Nothing but evil, through and through.
ZEHAAL: Witches, dragons, and humans. Do you still dare oppose me? I
shall consume you all. You cannot escape your fates.
Muahahaha...Wahahaha!
ALPH: Wrong! It is YOU who cannot escape. Your judgment is at hand!
LUCIA: Let's bring peace back to our planet!

an end to everything! Receive my Light, and look upon my true
self! (flash -> transformation to Wings of Doom)
ALPH: Is that...really him!?
WINGS OF DOOM: I am the harbinger of the void. I transcend all and
shall return this world to the nothingness it came from.

consume...the world! (flash)
THEO: Wh-What's happening...? (flash)
VANESSA: God's power is growing even stronger! (flash)
CLAIRE: His power is fueled by his overwhelming desire to consume
everything. Perhaps this is not something that can be stopped
with mere violence...
MEL: If we don't keep it back, everything will be annihilated!
SAKI: My intel does not indicate a preferred plan of action. I defer to
you, friends.
LUCIA: Everyone, listen to me! Focus your powers into the Lapistier!
Then, give them to me!
CLAIRE: Are you going to use the Spear of Dawn!?
LUCIA: Yes! I'm going to put god back to sleep...Forever!
VANESSA: Wait, Lucia! What if something happens to you when you cast
Over Flash!?
LUCIA: Thanks for caring, Vanessa. But, this is something that only I
can do. I must perform my duty!
VANESSA: Hmph...I'm not the Dawn Witch, but I can do SOMETHING about
that damn thing!
ALPH: I'm going with you, Vanessa!
VANESSA: Alph!
ALPH: I must protect Lucia!
VANESSA: Heh. I like your attitude, kid! Let's go!
CLAIRE: Stop! Vanessa! Alph!
VANESSA: Claire?
CLAIRE: Let's all place our faith in Lucia. She will defeat Zehaal with
the Spear of Dawn.
VANESSA: But...!
CLAIRE: It'll be okay. Her Rym, Alph, will be able to protect her.
VANESSA: ...Fine. I respect your judgement. [spelled wrong in the game,
supposed to be 'judgment']
CLAIRE: Thank you, Vanessa. We need to leave this place, now! Everyone,
channel your magic into the Lapistier, then pass them to Lucia!
MEL: Water Lapistier! (flash) Water helps us heal and cleanse our
wounds!
POLLON: Koo! I'll be a legendary hero who goes down in history, ya!
VIVI: Wind Lapistier! (flash) My hopes are delivered on the wind!
SAKI: I have faith in you, Alph & Lucia. Everything won't end here, I
know it.
VANESSA: Okay, Fire Lapistier! (flash) It's our turn!! Flames of
courage...Give them the power to fight!
LEON: We're gonna live! There's nothing that could ever keep us down!
MAVI: Nature Lapistier! (flash) The planet gave us all life. Now we
must do all we can to give it peace!
NIKOLAI: It'd be a shame if I, Nikolai, foremost researcher of all
Witches, isn't here to see this through with my own eyes to
the very end!
CLAIRE: Go already, you Witch fanatic! (push)
NIKOLAI: Oooh...! She's pushing me...(crash)
CLAIRE: Thunder Lapistier (flash)...I have waited for this moment...
Thunder...Light the sky, and punish the void!
KAI: The false god will be struck down!
CECILLE: Dark Lapistier (flash) ...Darkness, don't end our fates...The
fates of everything in this world!
HEATH: I will show you what I have always believed in! I'll prove that
our hearts are driven by a desire for peace!
ALPH: Lucia, take this...
LUCIA: The Lapistier of Light (flash) ...
CLAIRE: All the Lapistier are with you now. You can do it, Lucia.
LUCIA: Thank you.
CLAIRE: Alph, please protect Lucia.
ALPH: Yes!
THEO: Alph, Lucia...
ALPH: We'll be fine, Theo! Just believe in us!
CECILLE: Let's go, Theo! Alph has the power. The power to protect
Lucia...To protect all!
THEO: Yeah! I believe in you, Big Brother! Alph! Lucia! We'll be
waiting for you!
ALPH: All right!
LUCIA: Everyone...Thank you.
ALPH: Lucia, they're all gone. It's up to us to defeat god.
LUCIA: ...
ALPH: Lucia?
LUCIA: Alph, listen very carefully.
ALPH: Wh-What now!?
LUCIA: Concentrate on defending the planet's heart.
ALPH: Defending the planet's heart? What are you talking about?
LUCIA: If I use the Spear of Dawn here, I'll probably destroy the heart
of the world along with god. ...And if the heart dies, then the
rest of the world will die as well. So even if we kill Zehaal,
it will still be for naught.
ALPH: Wh-What about you? Won't you be sacrificing youself [spelled
wrong in the game, supposed to be 'yourself'] if you use Over
Flash? Don't you need my shield to protect you?
LUCIA: ...Look, there is no other way. If I can save the planet, then I
don't care if I have to die. That's the Dawn Witch's fate. The
Dawn Witch's duty.
ALPH: ...Are you insane? That's not true! I swore that I'd protect you!
LUCIA: Of course I want you to protect me! I don't WANT to die. But I
didn't expect that I'd have to cast Over Flash right HERE!
ALPH: It shouldn't have to be like that! I can't just let you die!
LUCIA: Are you going to risk the whole world just to try and protect
me!? If you try to save me, every living thing on this planet
will die, including us! Please, Alph! Tell me that you'll
protect the planet's heart!
ALPH: No! Even if I save the world, it doesn't mean a thing without
you!
LUCIA: Alph! Listen to me!
ALPH: I...I... (flash)
LUCIA: We're running out of time. Alph, I believe you'll do what's
right...Protect the planet...Protect everyone. The Light in
everyone's hearts will turn our fleeting hopes into a miracle!
Light, shower all lives and awaken their powers! Goodbye,
Alph...!
ALPH: Lucia!
LUCIA: Spear of Dawn! Eliminate our foe with the ultimate light! Over
Flash!! (flash)
ALPH: Luuuuuuciaaaaaa! Lucia...! Argh! Damn it! What good is the Rym's
power? What good is saving the planet.If I can't even use my
power to save a single girl's life!? It's pointless!
THEO: (...Alph, don't give up!)
ALPH: Theo?
THEO: (Believe in your powers!) (flash)
ALPH: This is...The Light Lapistier! This glow...The overflowing
power...! The planet is lending me its strength! (glow) Lucia!
Can you hear me? I'm gonna protect everything...Now! This planet
that you're willing to give your life to save...! Eternal Shield,
embrace it all! (flash)
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
The Light Lapistier flashed enveloping Alph and Lucia within its glow.
The light encompassed the entire planet.
One year later...
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
SAKI: Sir Heath, here are the findings of my investigation.
HEATH: Well done. Oh yes...aren't we supposed to meet at the Witch
Village today?
SAKI: Yes, today is the scheduled day.
HEATH: Has it really been a year already?
KAI: Heath.
HEATH: Yes, Kai?
KAI: About the subjugation of the monsters...
HEATH: Hold on for a moment. Saki, you may leave for the village now.
SAKI: Yes, Sir. What about you and Kai, Sir?
HEATH: You do know how busy we are? We can't rest until all the various
areas have been pacified. Besides, reorganizing the church is an
important task.
KAI: I am the leader of the Eurus knights now, Saki. We cannot spare
the time away from our duties in the Holy Congress.
HEATH: Go and represent us. ...Say hello to everyone for us.
SAKI: Yes, Sir.
KAI: By the way, Heath...about the additions to the scripture...
HEATH: There's so much to write about...The Witches, the dragons, the
planet...
KAI: Why don't we have Nikolai to do that?
HEATH: He's a good writer, but the scriptures'd tell everyone to
worship Witches
KAI: Hmm. Good point.
HEATH: Let's think about that later. In any event...we haven't had any
time to rest recently, have we?
KAI: Indeed.
HEATH: I think it's at lest more peaceful now than back when we were
fighting.
KAI: ...That's true.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
CECILLE: Hey, Leon, I heard the news. Weren't you chosen to be one of
the lieutenants in the Zephyroth Knights?
LEON: Yeah, but I'm still nowhere near as good as my dad was. But,
knowing that Sir Heath has selected me makes me want to kick it
up a notch!
CECILLE: We're not going to see each other much once you start working
with the Knights. Alph and Theo have decided to form a
security force to protect the town. Saki works for Heath as an
intelligence operative. Everyone's going to be so far away...
it's going to be so lonely.
LEON: ......H-Hey, Cecille.
CECILLE: Yes?
LEON: I...
NIKOLAI: Stop riiight there, usurper!
LEON: Woah! Nikolai!? Where the hell did you just appear from!?
NIKOLAI: I'm not letting this charade continue!! I can't let you have
Lady Cecille all to yourself! Not a chance!
CECILLE: Umm...I wasn't going to...
LEON: Wh-What!?
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
APH: Hey! Heeey! I've been calling you! Why aren't you answering me!?
...What? You're still in a bad mood...?
THEO: It's what you said to me, Alph. It would make anyone mad!
ALPH: Uh...Well...Sorry...? It was my fault. I'm serious! I feel really
bad about it! So will you at least look at me?
(flash)
VANESSA: Huh? You're still here?
THEO: Oh! It's Vanessa!
VANESSA: Hey there, dragon boy. What do you think? Do you wanna be my
Rym yet?
THEO: Uh...No...
VANESSA: Just tell me whenever you think you can handle the job, okay?
We're all meeting at the village, right? Hurry up! I'm sure
everybody's waiting for us!
ALPH: Oh yeah! We gotta get going! Hey, Let's go!
THEO: Hey, waiiit! Don't leave me here!
VANESSA: In a hurry? Why don't you let me whisk us away with a little
magic? Teehee!
THEO: No! I wanna go with my brother!
VANESSA: *sigh* O...kay then, that's to bad. Hehehe...
ALPH: Oh, yeah. Let's go say hello to Payan, too! We haven't done that
for a while.
THEO: Okay!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
THEO: Hello!
POLLON: Koo! It's Alph and Theo! It's been a long time.
ALPH: Hey, Pollon! What's up?
POLLON: I'm good as always, ya!
ALICE: Hey! It's the dragon guy!
THERESE: And the dragon guy's brother!
THEO: Whoa!
ALPH: Hey, Alice and Therese!
OLLON: Koo! I see you remember! It's never a dull moment here, ya.
ALICE: Alice and Therese are learning how to craft items from Pollon!
THERESE: Therese is better at it!
ALICE: No, Alice is better!
POLLON: You're both quite skilled and are both very good students, ya.
ALICE: Yay, he praised me.
THERESE: Pollon praised me, too!
ALPH: I see you guys are pretty spirited.
PAYAN: Oh, it's the dragon boys.
THEO: Oh, it's the sage!
PAYAN: What? Are you going to the village now? Can you do me a favor?
I'd like you to give this to Claire for me.
THEO: What's this?
PAYAN: Whatever you do, don't open it! You'll be cursed if you do!
THEO: Wahhhh!
PAYAN: Ahaha! I'm just kidding. It's actually a sweet cake that Alice
and Therese baked for her.
THEO: Oh! Really? Yay!
ALICE & THERESE: Alice and Therese make the bestest cakes in the world!
PAYAN: Share it with everybody in the village.
ALPH: Thank you, Payan!
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
ALPH: You're all already here?
LEON: Yeah! You're late, Alph!
SAKI: Were you sleeping late again?
CECILLE: Vivi's fallen asleep since we were waiting so long for you.
VIVI: ...Zzz...
MAVI: Hey, Vivi. Wake up. Everybody's here now.
VIVI: Mmm...The carpet is changing from wool to silk...Mmm...
VANESSA: It'll take an explosion to wake that sloth up. I guess it's up
to me...
CLAIRE: Oh, please stop it, Vanessa. You'll burn down the entire Lethe
Forest...
NIKOLAI: Watching a Witch sleep is also quite fascinating!
VIVI: Ooooh...Someone's watching me...Oh, noooooo...
ALPH: Claire, Payan asked us to give this to you.
CLAIRE: Oh...It's a cake from Alice and Therese. Those children are so
spoiled, living at Master Pa-Pa's place.
MEL: That's not fair! I wanna be with Master Pa-Pa and get spoiled!
MAVI: Mel, you're already pretty spoiled. At this rate, you're never
gonna be able to make your wish come true...
MEL: Huh! I'll be fine! I'll always have someone to help me.
CLAIRE: Okay, everyone. Let's have some tea.
THEO: What? Is it snack time already?
CECILLE: Well, we were waiting until you guys showed up.
ALPH: Oh, sorry...Haha...
THEO: You know, right before we left, Alph got into a big argument with
Lu... Mmmmph! (muffling sound) Let go of me!
ALPH: Hey! You don't have to tell everyone!
LEON: I can probably guess what this is all about.
NIKOLAI: I don't understand. Why Alph...?
ALPH: What? Do you have a problem with the two of us?
NIKOLAI: Ouch! You smacked me upside the head! No, my perfect brain!
Ahh!
LEON: Speaking of "Lu..." Where is she?
THEO: Huh? We were walking together earlier, but...
ALPH: Again? She's always disappearing whenever we need her!
???: [Lucia] Hey! I've been right here, thank you! Hello everyone. Long
time no see! How have you all been?
